Thank you. I think I understand. I think Mddhosting was just giving me the timeframe assuming I would be changing my the dns right away but I want to wait until I have a working site to direct it to. Thanks.

Thank you. I think that is what I am looking for? I still don't understand why it says my domain is propagating if I didn't transfer it though? Is propagating something else? When I look up the definition it sounds like transferring but I know I didn't choose to transfer my domain. Thanks

Hi, I am pretty much a newbie. I already have a domain name that I did not want to transfer. I was just going to point the dns server to the I.P. of the site that I build at MDDhosting. When I was buying the webhosting service it had three options. Register a Domain, Transfer a Domain and use an existing Domain with another server and possibly order one later. I chose the third one because it seemed to fit what I wanted to do but now I think maybe I misunderstood. The email I received from MDDhosting says that my domain is propagating and that after it propagates I will be able to access my website by using the domain name directly. Am I missing something? I don't want my domain to be with my webhosting. How can the website show up under my domain if I didn't change the I.P. in the DNS control panel. I am so confused. Thank you for your help. Also, where can I find the websites I.P. address so I can point the dns there?
