   Hello,

   Today I just purchased the WordPress value package. I previously had a website http://www.mahamoda.com hosted on a different service. I paid the extra money to have WordPress "map" the old domain.

   I deleted the contents of the old website.

   I want to start a brand new blog/website for my business.

   I picked a theme, etc.. But no matter what I do after I activate a theme, my browser (whose cache I have cleared) just gives me the 404 error.

   I really don't know what to do. I thought this was suppose to be simple?

   Can someone please help?

   You seem to have two problems - it can take 24 to 72 hours for changes to migrate to the far corners of the internet - you just mapped your domain name - the bigger issue is that you don't seem to have your name servers pointing to WordPress.COM. See below for more info:

   Thanks for the info. I changed the namesaver, but still nothing has changed. Maybe it will take 24 hours?

   Usually changes start after a few hours - it looks like you have everything set correctly - due to caching issues you will be the last one to see the changes -
