 * I am trying to install WP 3.1 using simple scripts on a domain I transferred 
   to Bluehost for this purpose. It says it has installed WP, but when I try to 
   access it, I get an error message that says “Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)” 
   Can anyone tell me what I need to do to resolve this problem?
 * I know I am entering the correct domain name, and I have tried it both with and
   without the www. Either way I install it, I get the same error message.

 * Heidi,
 * I checked your account and saw your domain is registered through 1&1, and currently
   points to them. You won’t be able to use your domain to access the website yet.
 * You can get details of that here: [https://www.bluehost.com/cgi-bin/dig](https://www.bluehost.com/cgi-bin/dig)(
   put in your domain name and see what the External Resolver shows). Just contact
   1&1 for help changing your name servers to Bluehost’s: ns1.bluehost.com and ns2.
   bluehost.com and you should be set in a couple hours.
 * Please contact our support if you need anything more. We’re always here for you!
