WordPress Installation When Domain is not yet verified

  • I am beginner in this website designing thing and my knowledge is next to nothing.

    I purchased a domain from crazydomains.com and then I got hostgator as the host. I then installed WordPress from hostgator while my domain was still on pending for verification. Now the domain has been verified, but i can’t get access to the website. What are the ways for me to get back to the website? Can i delete or uninstall wordpress from the domain and re-install again? If so, how?

    Can anyone help me out?

  • If your domain was pending for verification then how did you logged into your HostGator host? I believe you did log in with IP.
    Now I recommend you to uninstall your WordPress. If you install WordPress via QuickInstall or anything else then you will have to go there and you will see a option called uninstall. Or if you’ve installed WordPress manually then simply delete whole files and remove the Database too.
    And after then log in your HostGator account by go to https://example.com/cpanel and then install WordPress. It will install WordPress to your specific domain account.

    One can always log into their HG account without an active domain. When you set up your hosting at HG, you receive an email with the link, which is the form of https://gatorXXXX.hostgator.com/cpanel.

    You do not need to uninstall WP. If you already did, no worries, just use the QuickInstall to install it again.

    What you DO need to do is go over to your account at CrazyDomains and change the nameservers on your domain to the nameservers of your HG account. These values can usually be found in the left side panel of your cPanel, towards the bottom, and are in the form of:

    nsxxxx.hostgator.com
    nsxxxy.hostgator.com

    They are also in the initial email you received from HG when you set up the account.

    Be advised that it can take up to 48 hours for this change to become completely effective and for you to be able to access your WP site from your domain URL. This is normal.

    If you have any problems doing so, contact the support at CrazyDomains:
