Seems like I can't reach http://alivebychrist.com

Do you own the domain?

We hope the installation process was easy.

I tried to see if alivebychrist.com is available for purchase, and godaddy says it is.

Sometimes it takes a few hours (even up to 24) for domain name to start "working". Maybe this is the case here?

Strange. I think you should check with your hosting's tech support.
