I just recently got a host with dreamhost a few days ago and it seems the domain name I got isn’t working, it redirecting to some other webspace even though the dns whois says everything is suppose to be with DH. Is there a reason for this or do I just have a wait a while longer for it start to working?
Domain?
Looks to me as though DNS is still pointing to the old host…just give it some time

cool thanks , thats what i thought but i just wanted to make sure i didn’t mess something up lol.
No problem. It’s hard to predict exactly when DNS will update, so once you have done everything you can, patience will usually solve it!

dnsstuff seems to think it’s ready now…

Ping shows that it’s actually going to a dh server. Any chance when you copied your sit over that you copied an index page that redirects to your old host’s “site suspended” message?

This is interesting too. There’s a forward in this:
