domain name cannot be recognised

[alexakurgo51]

Hello!

I discovered I could point my registered domain to your servers. So three days ago I
re-named kkekeh.x10.bz to kkekke.com (after one false start); and changed the name
servers at my registrar to point at your servers.

My problem now is that even though I can access kkekkeh.com, when I try to
access the admin through kkekke.com/wp-admin, a redirection occurs
through the following url:

http://hosting.x10hosting.com/?redirect_to=http://kkekke.com/wp-admin/&reauth=1

Then I get the following message:

The website specified does not exist.
When it comes to free web site hosting, x10Hosting is an industry leader.
The features offered in our packages are unparalleled compared to our competition.
The domain you have requested is currently not in use under an x10Hosting web hosting account.
Do you want this domain? Register today.

I am not too familiar with hosting conventions but I know of secure and unsecure connections so
I got suspicious about the http:// which should have been [COLOR="blue"]https://[/COLOR]?
So I tried going the the website that was telling me my domain name does not exist:
http://hosting.x10hosting.com and lo and behold I get the follwing message:

The webpage at https://hosting.x10hosting.com/ might be temporarily down or
it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
More information on this error
Below is the original error message
Error 102 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED): Unknown error.

So I am at a dead end. I don't want to go into x10hosting.com/control to manage my account because I get
conflicting https:// and http:// and
to complicate matters, I tried accessing [COLOR="blue"]https://x10hosting.com[/COLOR]
on my second browser Firefox and I get the following message:

x10hosting.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown.
(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

Google Chrome was earlier more specific -
saying that the certificate had been issued by one GoDaddy Certification Authority.

My question:

• Why can I see the site when I type kkekke.com but when I click on any link or
I try to go to kkekke.com/wp-admin the server tells me the name does not exist?
I know DNS propagation can take up to 72 hours but the re-directions and the invalid certificates?

When I started using x10Hosting.com, I never faced the blocking of the site by my browser.
Thanks for lending me your ear - hope to hear from you.

PS: One last one. I tried to pay for Premium membership and discovered that you
only offer Paypal's payment system. I cannot register for Paypal in Ghana here -
I have a Liberty Reserve Account which I use to buy things from the USA.
Is it possible to pay you through LibertyReserve? I will like to eventually buy
higher quality hosting from you for several years.

Thanks.

Hello!

This is Alex again. I feel ashamed for having written the thesis above.

I got a solution to my problem: The domain name kkekke.com had been
successfully changed - yes - but the database still had my old site url
kkeke.x10.bz in its depths. That was causing the lack of recognition.

I got the tip from: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

Anybody who is using WordPress and decides to change his/her
site name should read it.

I thought my 'enemies' here in Ghana were playing tricks on me.
Now I feel embarrassed. Holy Cow!

All the best and CHEERS!!!!

Don't be embarrassed, i spent quite a long time myself looking for a fix to this issue my first time around.
