Hi all,
Extreme WP / building website noob here. I bought a domain from GoDaddy through Afternic, and after a painful few months, I was able to transfer the domain out of GoDaddy to PorkBun and host it through KnownHost. *exhale of relief*
However, I'm encountering an issue where, whenever I type in the domain, it redirects me to afternic.com saying "DOMAIN.COM This domain is registered, but may still be available. Get this domain"
??
I have installed wordpress on the domain through Knownhost/softaculous, and when I try to login (using https://domain.com/wp and https://domain.com/wp-login.php), it takes me to the SAME afternic page. When I click "Login" on the WordPress Management page in Softaculous, it does the same thing. I've tried on private windows, I've tried on different browsers. I don't know what to do, and any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much in advance!
Firstly, are your Name Servers correct? Knownhost will probably ask you to point your NS records to their servers. You do that by settings the values in Porkbun.
Log into your Knownhost control panel and look for your servers IP address.
Then go to where ever your DNS is hosted and ensure that your A record points to that IP address.
Failing that, contact KnownHost – this issue isn’t related to WordPress, it’s a hosting config problem.
