Can't set up add on domains right?

[maelhorn]

I already have a parked name for maelhorn.com. I added an add on domain for ReflectedLightStudios.com. I pointed it to the correct folder. I switched the name servers to x10's where I bought RelfectedLightStudios.com. It's been about 60 hours now and i'm getting the default web site page .cgi page.

Clear your browser cache and history. Then close your browser. Then reopen the browser.

worked like a charm, Grim. Thanks!

Any idea why I had to do this with my add on domain, but not with my parked domain? Just curious.

Just depends on how your browser handled caching the page.

Also, if you don't visit the new URL until it is functional, you never get the default page to cache.
Same thing with DNS propagation. You visit your old site and then change DNS settings to a new host, but you keep getting directed to the old host until the part of the Web you are on is updated. Your friend, who never went to the old site, goes directly to the new host because his part of the Web does not have stale (cached) information.
