Ajith, once I get it set up and working, I’ll be sure to share it here. As for buying existing blogs and domains, now that I’ve gone through this process I’d know what to do next time, as well as tell the other person what to do. It’s always a learning experience.

You know, Money, it’s one of those things where, when I talked to the guy I bought it from, he said he did it a different way, and didn’t know about this one piece he could have done instead. That’s seems to be the lesson here; look around for simpler ways to do something before having to do it the hard way.

Mitch,
I hope that everything is settled now. Leave alone buying existing blogs, even a WP DB restore and WP upgrades are something that I am always worried about. You never know how things turn out.

By the way, I hope it’s a temperory problem while DNS tables getting updated.

And when are you making the domain name public, just curious to know what niche and domain name was that?

Cheers,
Ajith

Holy crap !

That is just sad. I have had these situations when I just spend endless and endless amounts of time to do something, and later I just realized that I should wait, or click here.

All the best,

Thanks Dan. Actually, now it’s up, but I don’t have the full database back. Seems the guy didn’t save it the way one is supposed to do, which even I didn’t know, so we’re trying some workarounds. Always something with me.

hi Mitch,
It kinda of hurts just to read your post. I hate dealing with the kind of headaches you describe. Arghhh… Regarding your new blog, are you going to let us know the name at some point and why you decided to buy it? Good luck with it!

Turns out that might not have been the issue after all; at least, at this point, I’m finally seeing something, after talking to customer support again.

Yepper, newly bought or transferred takes the same time. It may not be new to the ‘net, but it’s new to your particular servers.

I remember my very first as I was freaking out….no one told me. LOL

I’m thinkin’ 1&1 is a wee slow though, it’s never mine more then a couple-few hours to propagate.

Wow, what a rigmarole. I know that when you first purchase a new domain that it sometimes takes 24-48 hours before it becomes available so I suppose it is conceivable that the same is true when you transfer one over. I can’t wait to see the new blog and then the changes, if any, that you make to it.
