WordPress.com / Host Gator / www.ads-software.com

  • Ok, so I am so confused! I wanted to start a blog…seemed simple..NOT!

    I purchased a domain name delightfulmessylife.com through WordPress.com. Since doing some research, and wanting to make money off of the blog it seems that the best option for me is to use www.ads-software.com. I have purchased a starter hosting plan from hostgator as well.

    Hostgator has wordpress installed on it…but it looks the same as wordpress.com, is this the way that it is suppose to be? How do I know if I am running off of www.ads-software.com?

    Also, I went into wordpress.com and changed my server names to the ones provided by hostgator and now I cannot access my site…this could be from making the change, it takes a while?

    I have no clue what I am doing, What I would like to do is run a profitable (eventually) blog using www.ads-software.com and have hostgator host my site. Please, how do I accomplish this????

  • Have a look at Moving to www.ads-software.com

    To answer your first question: yes, your wordpress on hostgator will be the same as the wordpress on wordpress.com.

    Second, you won’t be running anything off www.ads-software.com. You will be running wordpress off your own hosting which in this case would be hostgator.

    To check your nameservers, enter your site (delightfulmessylife.com) here.

    As of now, your nameservers are still with wordpress.com

    Lastly yes, it can take a few days for your changes to take effect. If you just made the change, just check back later.
