   I've just finish installing wordpress to my Cpanel but when I open the full URL the http://colynchan.com/wp-admin/, it says server not found. Did I miss anything? Your urgent respond required. Thanks.

   Goto your domain registrar and make sure you have the correct nameservers.

   Hi Michael. Thanks for speedy respond. I'm a complete newbie and do hope that you're able to further guidance. How do I go to the domain registrar? How would I know that the nameserver is correct?

   Domain registrar is the company you bought your domain name from. This could be your host company.

   You host company should be able to tell you the name server information.

   Michael,

   @HeneryHawk this from http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/11/10/domain-mapping/

   Q: I purchased a domain through WordPress.com and now want to point it elsewhere. How can I do that?
   A: If you purchased the domain through WordPress.com, under Options –> Domains from your blog’s dashboard, you will see a link that says “Manage Domains”. If you click on this link you will be able to receive access to a control panel that allows you to change your domains nameservers and point it elsewhere.

   So follow those instructions and put in the name servers to your new host.
