Can't login to WordPress admin site, /wp-admin/ redirects me

I have purchased hosting space and am still waiting for the nameservers on my domain name to propagate as the domain was registered with a different registrar.


I am attempting to access my wordpress admin page using the temp URL provided:


http://ecbiz194.inmotionhosting.com/~*******/wp-admin/


However this just redirects me to my main site www.themightywhites.co.uk (which is still waiting to update nameservers)


Any help appreciated.

Hello, Thank you for contacting us about an issue with redirects on your login page. Yes, this could very well be caused by propagation, from your Nameserver update. This can take up to 24 hours, but usually occurs much quicker. I recommend testing with a host file modification in the meantime, since WordPress (and many CMS's) have trouble with the Temp URL. Then, when the nameserver updates propagate, you will not have to make any changes to your configuration. If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below. Thank you, John-Paul
