So I just bought a domain name, added the name servers to the domain name and installed wordpress using softaculous or something like that. But after waiting 1 hour, the domain is not available. My browser shows it cant find the example.com. Is it natural?

When i check the health status it shows
A record not found
mx record not found
ns record not found
Is it normal?
 
Sometimes it's take aroun 24 hours for domain to be alocated to your hosting, if you are sure that you set correct Name servers under your domain settings, you need just to wait a bit longer
 
What do you mean by example.com not found?
Did you buy webhosting for the domain?
With that kind of problems, you should contact your webhosting company.
 
It can take some time. With namecheap it's in less than one hour. Try to delete cache and cookies and try to go to your website.
 
try hard refreshing the page by holding CTRL key with F5 key at the same time.
 
the name servers are set correctly.... I installed the wordpress 1 time, did it wrong. So i gone to the ftp file manger and deleted the whole folder with the domain name. Then installed it again . Is that the problem?

Double check your DNS entries by doing a whois search. Other than that you may just have to wait until the domain has propagated.
 
I am also using hostgator.
Before the installation of wordpress. Just do it to.
First of all change name servers. After that add a Html file (just put simple html coding in text file and save as index.html) in the root directory to check your site is working or not. After this just type this (domain.com/index.html). Need any help then msg me. If this url works then everything is alright. Go head (but delete this file from the root).
 
It is normal, just give it 24 hours. I had the same "problem" yesterday but this morning I woke up and site is there. It wasn't the first time I installed WP on a new domain so I wasn't panicking, it is always like this, sometimes you wait 5 minutes sometimes a couple of hours.
 
Apart from the above answers which are probably correct you should be aware when using softaculous that it intalls a table prefix unless you check the box that says dont do this. check to see if your site loads on yoursite.com/wp or /wp_ .
 
Out of curiosity, how much did you pay to register that Domain?

(sometimes, i have found that the cheaper the Domain Reg.Service, the longer it takes)

I paid 12$(750Rs) for the domian and I bought it from hostgator.in
 
ok. The things I checked.
1. The domian name is not available for purchase.
2. The name servers are correct. I have 3 more domains in the same account and all of them uses the same nameserver. The hosting is also from hostgator( another account). They changed the cpanel all the way around and its hard to use.
3. I used name server look up tool and it shows me that this "no name servers are assigned to this domain"
4. Most of the other tools just show "unable to resolve my website to an IP address"

This is were I am right now
 
After 16 hours its still down. I don't know why but I am feeling really bad about this
