I am trying to set up my website to work with Hostgator, and 123reg.

I have mapped my IP address that HostGator gave me, to my 123reg domain name I just bought.

What I did was the following:


Mapped the IP address to my domain name using 123reg (control panel).
I also changed the Nameservers values (in 123reg) to what HostGator gave me.
I have setup a Joomla Service using the HostGator Control Panel. everything seemed to be working fine. Joomla gave me credentials, an admin URL and everything.


Now the problem that has been bothering me is, that WHATEVER I type it redirects me to the 123reg default site as if my changes had not taken any place.

For example:
mydomain.com -> 123reg default page mydomain.com/home -> 123reg default page mydomain.com/admin -> 123reg default page mydomain.com/whatever -> 123reg default page


Can somebody please help me through?

In your cmd prompt, do a nslookup mydomain.com and make sure the correct nameservers display for HostGator. Also to be sure your ISP DNS is cleared, do a ipconfig /flushdns.

How long ago did you do this? While registrars will tell you it takes 24-48 hours for your DNS set up to propagate around the world, in reality, you could notice changes in less than an hour. So you need to wait a while for things to happen.
