Decide if you're going for the worldwide market or targeting people in the UK.

Would it be worth taking a .co.uk just for the sake of better domain names being available?
Most of the cool names have been been taken be .com =[.

sorry : Your domain is not yet pointing our server, so services such as FTP, Website Builder or File Manager may not work.

Your change will not take effect immediately. Please wait at least six hours before checking to see if it works.

If the DNS update does not work after one day (your website is not visible on the internet, or your e-mail does not work), please:

I think you've put them in the wrong place, those are nameservers, not DNS settings. Try to find the nameserver settings in the Gandi control panel.

so on your 000webhost account it says namerservers not poining? is so thats werid once i changed my DNS servers that message went away....

oowww i forgot to tell you to do something else

1) Login to https://www.gandi.net/admin/domain

2) Where it shows your domain name there should be a gold padlock unlock it, it will come up with
Quote:
The protection against transfer function blocks the transfer of your domain name to another Registrar.
This function may only be deactivated by the domain name’s administrator.
just click activate, now hopefully it will work, because this is what i done...
good luck
