usually when someone registers a domain within an hour or so it's live and pointing to my server if the nameservers have been set up right and the hosting sorted on my end
these free things are ok but they do tend to have some limitations
check the nameservers in your control panel that they are pointing the correct way
if you do decide to change hosting ppl give me a shout i have good deals for DSF members
oh and i always recommend 123 for domains as never had a problem
lol....
not using em for hosting m8.....only using the free page you get with any domain name to let ppl know i,m about and gonna open soon...only got my domain with em

How does that work? If you're hosting elsewhere and pointing your domain elsewhere, then you won't be using the free page surely?

you miss what i,m doing here....
my shop is being hosted elsewhere ....( not opened yet ).
my domain is with 123reg...they give you 1 free web page with the domain name.
I,m trying to use the free page with 123reg as a front temp page to let ppl know my business is up and coming and when.
once my shop is opened, i will point my domain name to my shops hoster...
hope that makes better sense

I see, so at present it should be showing up the page on 123reg? That shouldn't take any time at all to do. As soon as the domain has propagated, the page should show up. I don't use 123reg myself, but that's always been the case whenever I've registered a new domain.
Have you put it in
www.network-tools.com to see what it says?

If it shows it pointing to the right IP address, then it should be working. Sometimes you need to wait for the data to propagate (your ISP might be slower to update than someone else's), but if it shows its pointing to the right place then there's little more you can do.
Do you want to post your domain here so others can try it and see if they can see your page?
