New web designer , need help with my new domain name that I just purchased

    So I am making a business website for someone and I have already created and designed it . At first i was using a free domain name (roofingqualityplus.wordpress.com) , then to make the website more official and look more professional on a business card we decided to make and purchase a regular domain name (http://qualityplusconstruction.com) , I have just recently purchased it (10 minutes ago) . But my problem is when I go to see how it looks or when I type in the url a page comes up that says that its forbidden or that i need to probably log in . This problem is happening for both url's . Is it because I just purchased it ? Or is there something wrong ?

    PLEASE HELP !!!!!

    The blog I need help with is qualityplusconstruction.com.

    You're welcome. Do be aware that this is not an instantaneous process. It can take up to 72 hours for the new domain name to propagate throughout the internet but rarely takes that long. You can watch the process here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/qualityplusconstruction.com/
