 * This morning I bought a domain from hostgator and added it as an addon domain.
   I just installed it through wordpress and went into wp-admin and there are ads
   there. I was going to install just a blank theme until I got around to using 
   it. How do I bugger off these opportunistic ads? I created another one and it
   was fine.

 * If they are adds from Hostgator, then you need to wait longer for the nameserver
   settings to change over. It can take up to 72 hours for nameserver and DNS changes
   to propegate around the net for your domain to point to the new server.

 * They are not ads for hostgator. They are for other sites similar to the one I
   bought, or do hostgator allow other people’s ads to sit there and charge them
   for it? Don’t know. Happened to me a while ago but can’t remember what caused
   it. Hostgator is my host so I would have thought it would have come up straight
   away.
 * The other site has come up straight away, or perhaps it is just a fluke.

 * Some places, including Hostgator, do show adds on parked domains. That’s another
   way that they try to get a few extra cents out of newly registered domains.
 * Just because you’ve registered two domains at the same time doesn’t mean that
   they will both have the same response for DNS changes. Sure they should, but 
   there’s never any guarantee of that.
 * If you’re at all concerned, contact Hostgator and ask them. They’ll be able to
   tell you what’s going on as they are the ones that are looking after it all.
