 * **Novice alert**
 * Trying to host my wordpress site with 1&1 so that my 1&1 emails will work with
   the same domain.
 * Things I have done so far:
 * – created a MySQL 5.0 database on 1&1
    – created an FTP account – set the wp-
   config.php to match the database – uploaded wordpress to webspace explorer – 
   changed my DNS settings to default (although my email still isn’t working??)
 * Can anyone advise:
 * a) whether any of these things are heading me in the right direction??
    b) what
   else I need to do? c) why my emails aren’t receiving (but they are sending) d)
   have I broken the internet… 😉
 * Many thanks
 * Clair

 * I think you have done right steps. You should wait, i think it takes awhile to
   gets setup perfectly.

 * Really?!!! I am going to be so surprised if I have done it right!! I have been
   trawling forums all day and learning as I go.
    I will leave it now and see what
   happens (fingers crossed)
 * Unless anyone else has spotted any omissions or errors?
