You domain name has to propigate on the internet, once it has then the temporary url isn't needed, until then thats the only way to access it. give it up to 48 hours

Default Re: Temporary URL and my sites URL

I was not with any other place. i got my domain name from voda host so will that apply to me because i have looked at the VodaHosts Name Server (DNS) and it said:
" In order for your domain name to work on our servers you must change
your name servers to match the name servers provided in your welcome
letter.
This also applies if you bought your domain name From VodaHost Domains.
You still must configure it.
"

Is that what i have to do and if so how would i go about doing that?

Lightbulb Re: Temporary URL and my sites URL

VodaHost immediately provides you direct access to the server space assigned to you once you have paid for an account, but it may take up to 72 hours for all registrations to be processed and verified by ICANN (especially if purchasing a domain).

Once the registration processes are comleted, your URL may be accessed from any browser as normally entered .... if you have published a website using tempoary/direct access, this site will be visible.

If you have a domain elsewhere, once registration is completed and proper path established, you will need to make DNS changes at your domain provider to "point to" the VodaHost server so when keying in your domain it will deliver you to your populated account and display your previously published website.
Please do not pre-empt any normally occurring procedures by attempting to change DNS at VodaHost for domains residing elsewhere, nor for VodaHost domains with websites hosted in separate accounts or at other providers. Don't rush things .... let the computers do their thing!

If you still have issues after 72 hours, you should Submit a Support Ticket to have a personal solution offered.

Will this same procedure happen when and if i want to purchase an additional domain name with BV and add it to my account or is there some sort of transfer i will have to use to have that additional domain added? I assume either way i will have to wait for it to propagate as well.
