www.mysite.com is not authorized?

[AJ]

I am new to setting up and running a site. I am just getting started setting up my site on FQ today.
When I view the temporary site live, it says "www.(mysite).com is not authorized" in the date, time, and visitors fields. What does this mean?

The domain name I'm looking at appears to still be in the process of propagation. If you enter the domain name at http://www.aota.net/dns/ you will see some mismatches with regard to what name servers show on the graphical representation versus the text at the bottom. Those should match once propagation is complete.

Whenever you change a domain's DNS entries (or register a new domain), you can expect there will be a period of propagation that will last from 24 to 72 hours on average before the domain name will work properly. This cannot be sped up as it is not in the control of any single entity. More about propagation can be read here:

I'm betting if you allow about 12-24 hours to pass, everything will be set. Then you will not be seeing those "not authorized" messages anymore. :)
