Hello everyone,

I've just got space & new domain in hostmonster, but,

when I added my already registered domain yesterday (after I ensured about the dns servers set up for it) everything worked fine, and I moved my files into the new folder made for the new domain. and I tested the added domain, it was perfectly directed to the folder.

today, when I tried to open the added domain, it shows me the homepage of the registrar for the domain and in the header "this domain name has just been registered"! it's not pointing to the folder in my hostmonster hosting.

I went to the control panel in hostmonster, but everything seems to be fine.

so, what could be the problem is??

Thank you very much for reading my problem, and I like to hear from you very soon,

If it's showing a splash page for your domain registrar, then something must have changed on their end.

Double-check the settings in the registrar's control panel, namely make sure the nameservers are still set and in use.

I tried to open the added domain again, I discovered that sometimes it shows my website, and sometimes it shows me the registrar page, I don't know if the problem will continue forever or what?

Thank you linFox for your reply.

If it's intermittent, then the nameserver changes are still propagating across all the dns servers around the world.
Just wait for a few more hours and it should be working correctly.

ps. domain propagation, and also browser cache, can caused these.
