I’m able to access the admin area. If you’re not able to actually log in with the username and password you created/was created for you, I’d recommend contacting Hostgator, they should be able to help you get setup with proper logins to log in. Hope that helps.
Thanks Will! Hostgator are saying it’s because the name servers take time to point to the right ones (or something along those lines) but is it weird that you can get to the admin area and I can’t?

I can also get to the admin form using the link in your original post.

– When a domain is registered or altered, there is a process called propagation, where information about the domain name is passed to internet service providers all over the world. This process can take up to 72 hours (though usually much less) for DNS/nameserver records to fully propagate if. Second, different networks will update at different times during this period, so you may need to get in touch with them for more details. That is, bear in mind that just because one provider has updated their records, it doesn’t mean that another will.
– If you still have trouble viewing the site after 72 hours have passed, please try clearing your browser’s cache.
Thank you so much – it took aaaages but it finally updated and I can access now 🙂
