Why doesn’t my website load?
If could be for a variety of reasons:
- Have you installed WordPress?
- Did you purchase both domain and hosting with the same vendor (eg. Hostgator)? If yes, contact them via their online chat, or over the phone, and they will help activate your website and get it running.
- Did you purchase your domain from two different places? If yes, please see ‘How to Connect my Domain and Hosting’ .

How to Connect my Domain and Hosting?
When domain and hosting are purchased from two different vendors, they essentially need to be ‘connected’. Doing this is very easy – you just need to change your ‘Domain Nameservers’ to the nameservers that your hosting company sent you when you signed up for a hosting account. Click here for further instructions.
If you are still unsure, please contact the company where you purchased your domain, or contact us for help.
After updating your nameservers, wait up to 1 hour for changes to take effect.
