My First Website Setup Experience
I thought I'd share my experience setting up my first website since so many people on Live Chat were so helpful.
When I first signed up for the free WA I set up a Rubix site but also went to HostGator and registered the .com site to secure it for later. When I went premium at WA, I decided to transfer everything over to WA. Apparently, the HG registration is good for a year so I won't be able to register it at WA until that time expires. However, I am able to cancel my hosting at HG and change the name servers at HG to:
The next step was to go to the SiteRubix SiteDomains section and add my domain all the way at the bottom of the page. As soon as I did that, I received a message within minutes that my site was indexed in Google.
So now in my Rubix admin screen, I have two sites listed. One with the rubix domain and one with just the .com domain. The one with the .com domain does not have any of the Wordpress content listed that the rubix site contains, so far. Either I need to manually transfer the content, or it will show up after about 24 hours from changing the name servers.
I hope this is helpful to people out there. If I'm missing something, please let me know in the comments below.

When you get the content transfered from the siterubix.com to the .com make sure and get the siterubix.com domain pointed at the .com and that way no one else can use the siterubix.com name and it will mean there wiill be less confusion on the www :-)))
