How to Point Domain to a Hostgator Account

[MattPM]

I've setup hosting on Hostgator, and was provided two NS addresses. I usually use a different domain registrar and am unfamiliar with Parallels. I've successfully pointed other domains to the NS at my host, but can't quite figure it out with Parallels.

I've logged in, gone to Websites and Domains, then DNS Settings. The domain I want to change is set in Master Mode. I click the "Manage" link, and have created three records:

Host Record Type Value
mydomain.com. NS ns1.myhostdnsname.com.
mydomain.com. NS ns2.myhostdnsname.com.
www.mydomain.com. CNAME mydomain.com.


(obviously, with the real values in the domain name and the DNS name at Hostgator)

I've waited a day, and the domain name is still pointing to the old host.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
