Web address not working

What could be wrong with my web address? I bought it from goDaddy and purchased hosting on hostgator a couple days ago. From what I can see from Panel, name servers look ok. Am I missing something? I’ve tried it in both Google and Yahoo. “sorry the page you are looking for cannot be found” it says. I can log into my wp admin ok….but site simply wont show up. Please help. Thanks.

Answer:

It’s looking for an index file in the root of your domain and can’t find one.  Where did you install WordPress?  Did you give it a folder name when you installed it, something like “blog”?  If so, then typing your domain name will not find the blog unless you set up a redirect to point to http://yourdomain.com/blog/  If you want your domain name to resolve to your blog, then you should have installed WordPress without a folder name.  Go into cPanel: Software/Services: Fantastico: and remove WordPress and reinstall it in the right place.
