I didn’t get the actual problem. I tried every possible method to link dthe omain to hosting.

Actually, he entered the wrong domain name and paid and the domain was complex too. He misspelled the domain. he alreday changed name server and all other things. But domain was not pointing to hostgator.

I told him to take new domain. but he did not want to buy a new domain.

I mailed to hostgator support team. You know how fast is hostgator support (3 days).

But next, I  stared to find the solution of this problem.
