 * Hi everyone,
 * Two days ago I bought hosting via GoDaddy, and used a domain that I bought via
   Google Apps ([http://www.booksofamber.com](http://www.booksofamber.com)) to create
   a site using WordPress. Everything was fine until a few hours later, now I get
   a 404 error whenever I check the site. Last night it was working fine with Internet
   Explorer, which I used on a whim, and also for my friend in the Netherlands, 
   now nothing is working at all.
 * What do you think the problem is? Have I installed WP incorrectly? My first though
   was that the nameservers are still updating, except it’s going on and off. It’s
   driving me crazy because I just want to work on my blog!
 * Thank you in advance.

 * Did you make sure to get the domain name connected to your actual site hosting?
   I guess at this point I’d check with your hosting for help. Maybe GoDaddy hosting
   doesn’t work with Google Apps domain names. I don’t think it’s a WordPress issue
   based on the sounds of things… I think it’s more of a domain name not being mapped
   correctly to the host. So more a Google or GoDaddy issue.

 * check if your domain is locked

 * Your site opens fine for me. Have you fixed the issue?
