I've tried to resolve this by going thru the forum but could not. My account was activated on 23 May.

I've created my site and published it (I think). When I published, I got the message that the pages were accepted.

Now What? Checked the web and my site is not up. I'm sorry, but I'm a comlete newbie in this. Please assist me in the next step.

My domain is www.smartwindshieldrepairs.ca

Simple.
Double-check that you have properly titled your main page as "index"...just that, small i and without any extension....
All Main Pages MUST be saved (in BV) and titled that way. Check, and fix + republish, and come back here for us to see.

Again....when you have Blue Voda open, and your Main Page opened (displayed) in the BV browser, click on EDIT > SAVE PAGE AS > index
...this properly saves the page to your BV folder

Then, PUBLISH... do not add any extensions or endings!
...it will be published to your public directory as usual.
DO this and let's see what happens!

OK. I've double checked everything and published again. Again, everything was accepted. We'll see what happens.

Still not up, even after refreshing.
Looking into the ".ca" angle...I saw something elsewhere, and I'll be back...ok?

When you did your "home" page in BV did you "save it as" index..??..and when you did your menu links it should be like this ... http://www.smartwindshieldrepairs.ca/index.html

Even the tinyiest spelling mistake or a dot in the wrong place can make a big difference

A whois search shows that http://www.smartwindshieldrepairs.ca/ is not a registered domain. When and from whom did you purchase your domain?

No. In page properties, I just listed the home page as index. I think I followed the BV tutorial in this regard.

Hey Burnman

Are you sure this is your link. I just quickly checked this link on netfirms and it says IT IS available.

No worries. Two answers are better than no answers.

Yes it is correct. I noticed the same as you and I thought maybe it has taken BV a while to register my domain. All the documents I received from BV have the website spelled correctly as listed. When I enter into the cpanel, it says "welcome smartwindshieldrepairs.ca"

You need to go to http://support.vodahost.com ASAP and submit a support ticket. (You don't need to sign in to submit a ticket.)

General, Sir!

How is it I couldn't even find the current WHOIS with Network Solutions, *******, VH, Domain Avenue, or even Pimpin Domains?
They all said the extension ".ca" was unsupported? That is why I attempted to approach Burnman's dilemma in the most basic fashion....

OK, I've done that. Is this the reason my site is not publishing.

I'd be lying if I said I understood how all this stuff works. I always use the following site for a whois search because I saw ***** recommend it once: http://www.domaintools.com/
