Today, I decided to make a website, so I go to “godaddy.com” and get a domain name, after im finished with that, I buy a hosting program called hostgator(its working good), then I go to wordpress from my control panel, and I get a wordpress.org account, so I try to go to my website, and it doesn’t have anything but my website name, and has some sponsered listings! Then it says “This page is parked free, courtesy of GoDaddy.com..WTF????
Whats going on, what does this mean??
Here is my proof:

You have to configure the DNS for your domain in GoDaddy to point to Hostgator, where you have your Wordpress installed. This usually involves changing the nameserver at GoDaddy to the one for HostGator. The ad page you see is the free hosting that GoDaddy gives you that has advertisement on it.
ya you have to upload it to ftp. or it may be the lag time if you just bought it. expect 24-48 hours for your hosting to get set up and a little for your wordpress application. If you have any problems the tech guys at host gator will help you.
check hostgator’s nameservers. usually it looks something like this: ns1.hostgator.com, ns2.hostgator.com, and so on.
then go to godaddy -> my account -> manage domains -> tick the domain caradv1ce.com -> click nameservers -> change it to hostgator nameservers.
then upload your website using ftp.
