 * I’m trying to set up an account & I got this (below) from the installer robot.
   
   It just takes me to a godaddy advertising page. Any thoughts how to get up an
   running? Andreash — 1. Please create an admin user at:

 * 2. Afterwards, if you’re switching from a different blog system,
    go to the import
   area of WordPress admin:

 * The problem is that that domain is still just parked with goDaddy.
 * Where is the installer robot? What URL did you get those instructions from?

 * I’ve got exactly the same problem. I purchased my domain from godaddy and hosting
   from HostGator, and installed WordPress through Fantastico. I keep getting the
   same godaddy screen. I can see the WordPress files in my ftp client but I can’t
   do anything with them.
    Any help would be very appreciated.

 * Well, maybe this will help, I just talked to a HostGator technician. I’m a complete“
   noob” at hosting and domains so apparently I skipped a very important step: providing
   my GoDaddy domain with the HostGator’s nameservers. After this, he told me I 
   should wait up to 48 hours for the website propagation. Let’s see what will happen
   next…

 * 48 hours is the longest it can possibly take (as long as nothing went wrong).
   You should see the results pretty quickly, depending on your ISP.
