It generally takes between 12 to 48 hours for your DNS to Propagate and point to your domain name. During this time you can still view and edit your website. Click on “FAQ” or “Account Setup” under Categories and there are some tutorials on how to do this.

We do not recommend installing scripts or using Fantastico until your DNS has had sufficient time to Propagate.
