Your home page MUST be called "index". That's what the browsers will look for when entering your domain name. If it has any othet name, (even Index, or INDEX) it won't work. Also, your name servers are still pointed at Lycos, so when you click on www.dkmermaids.co.uk it still takes the visitor to Lycos

I have changed my homepage to index cheers, I've also sent you an e-mail.
i've paid to transfer my domain to here yesturday morning. How long should it be be4 i get a comfirming email? Does it come from vodahost or the company i got the doamin name from.
Once my doamin is here,,Will my homepage (index) automaticly link together?

Got the email. Added you to msn. Yes, if you have published the index page, as soon as the transfer is complete, it should appear automatically. Time for DNS propagation is 24 to 48 hours. Actual transfer time may vary from company to company, usualy 24 - 48 hours. However, your site doesn't appear anymore on Lycos, which makes me think that the transfer process in in course
