i purchased a domain 24 hrs ago (with namecheap) and pointed the DNS settings to my webhost and still cannot call up any pages,it always goes to page not found.

This is strange because i have over 100 domains and never had this problem before.I have double checked my DNS settings,and everything is correct.

My host support really sucks and usually takes 24 hrs to receive an answer,and i need to get to work on this domain soon. Any suggestions?

try reloading your site using a proxy site , or try another browser
sometimes this is because some browsers regsiter that This domain name has exactly This page ( which may be " can't find server in your case )

Are you sure the dns records propagated correctly?
24h is not .. weird for some isps dns cache.
Do you have any other sites on the same host that works?

I have about 80 domains on the same server,and they all work fine, its just this 1 new domain that doesn't work.

My host suggested to remove my dns and re-add .I have tried this for the past day and still no luck, so i need to contact namecheap and let them know that the dns isnt getting set.

there are several dns tracing tools that can show you the status of the dns propagation. I havn't had a need for one for a few years so google

Wait for a day or two. I had similar problem. A new domain (.info) I registered took 24 hours+ to work.

Mine is also a .info, i guess it takes a little longer than other extensions to work,which is strange because i have 3-4 other .info's,and it only took 5-10 minutes. Ah well,i guess ill have to wait it out..

<g> try buying thousands of domains at once, you'll stop caring
In my experience, and thats alot of domains lol. DNS errors like this ALWAYS fix themselves, at least i never noticed a domain that gave me an error after 3days.

Yeah I have had the same trouble with some .i_nfo's in the past but I always by .c_om now. If the .c_om doesn't exist I just add trailing characters, still better for me than the exact phrase .i_nfo.
