Hi Jacob,

Are you sure that is the right url, as I check on the whois tool and it says the domain is not registered and is available for purchase.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for taking the time to answer. I got an email confirming my domain below. I bought the combo (domain/hosting) yesterday. I checked WH4S site and godaddy and they both said the domain is available. I emailed support at WH4S to see if they could help. I can't move on with my lessons until I get this sorted. Not sure if it's a time thing and I should give it another 24hrs or if I did something wrong.

Hi Jacob DuBoise, Congratulations on registering socaljacobrealestate.com! You can login to manage your domain here: https://webhostingforstudents.com/accounts/clientarea.php?action=domains

Hi Jacob,

It sometimes can take up to 24hrs - 48hrs, but most times its instant just depends on the hosting company. Hopefully it works for you soon, happy coding.
