Technical Questions help with nixihost wordpress

i decided to use nixihost, since thats what everyone else told me to do. I went to cpanel, and installed wordpress. i clicked open with admin so i could actually make my site and it just takes me to my "coming soon" page and does nothing. I would've sent an image along with this, but apparently i cant.

Is your domain pointed to your hosting account?

If you need to view/edit the WP site prior to pointing a domain to the hosting package, you can edit your hosts file on your computer.

Here's some more info:

Check using another browser could be cache or check dns from the domain if they have propegated.

before you go down the dns rabbit hole — the "coming soon" page is almost certainly the installer's doing, not a domain problem. cpanel's wp toolkit (and softaculous, depending on which one nixihost uses) switches the new site into maintenance/coming-soon mode by default, and that page is what every logged-out visitor gets, including you in a normal browser tab.

go to yourdomain/wp-admin, log in with the credentials the installer showed you, and the real site appears. then find the site in wp toolkit and flip "coming soon" off. if /wp-admin also lands on the coming soon page, clear cookies for the domain first — the login redirect gets cached surprisingly often.
