Hey!

I just bought a domain and hosting from 1and1.com. I bought it at about 8:30 AM on August 1st (EST Time Zone) Today at almost 7:00 PM, almost 36 hours later, my site is still not up. It says it is active. Yet my FTP account still doesnt work. Is this normal? How long does it normally take for a domain and hosting to be fully active? Thanks, Tom

Are you FTP-ing into an IP address or your domain name? If it is a new domain name, it may not have propagated fully yet and it may not work.

It may take a few days to be completely ready..

i know with my domains from 1and1 it said they were active but they wasnt..

If it doesnt work after about 4 days contact the 1and1 support and they should help

I wouldn't be with a place which you have too call support if your domain isn't up in 4 days.Thats pure sad, shows they ain't all that good of a company!!

Well they are the worlds #1 host...

I was just saying that if it isnt up after 4 days email their support and they would help although it should work..Just need patience

I've actually seen better.

Ya, I guess Dark Sky was right. It said it was active, but it wasnt. Now it is up and running. Check it out at www.onlinesportstrivia.com

jeter, glad to hear that they finally came through for you. I was starting to feel bad for recommending them.

That said, they have proven to be a great host for me..... I hope you have a similar experience.
