I built this site here using the "Browsers" theme:
http://pcandnetservices.com/wordpress/
using my godaddy account, now I have to upload the site on my client's godaddy account, so i tried that today with the help of a GD Agent but the site does not show on the net, instead the intended domain shows this generic template:
http://mytristateautoglass.com/
The GD Agent doesn't know why my site is not being displayed on the domain? He checked the backup folder and says all is pointing towards the correct domain so can anyone help with this please?
The sites looks the same when I visit them, but I do see that any links from the homepage of mytristateautoglass.com go to pcandnetservices.com/wordpress/
This leads me to believe that the "WordPress URL" (defined in the WordPress general settings area) is set to pcandnetservices.com/wordpress/ instead of the new site. When moving a WordPress site to a new domain name or folder, you need to change both those settings to the correct location.
I recommend logging into the admin for the new site and setting the WordPress URL properly. Until you do, there's still a connection to the old site.
And just for reference, WordPress has a good help article for how to go about moving to a new folder or server - http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress

I corrected the mistakes in the URL, same deal. Also, yes, you're correct, it seems the Permalinks in my pages still point to pcnetservices, I tried looking for ways to change this on the net but don't understand, I tried placing the new URL which is mytristateautoglass,com into the Optional structure field then save changes but the permalink still shows the same? How can I change the permalinks of each page I have please?
