Hi All,
We have hosted a domain 4months back.Recently we have uploaded files into it inluding index file.But when we check in the browser it still showing the hosting site page with a title message - "coming soon".Can anyone let us know what might be the cause and how can I make my site live.
Looking forward for expert suggestions....

You need to upload files to web root directory. Most of the times it is called as 'public_html' and it's shortcut 'www'.

Your server will have a list of valid names that can be used for the index page. It is in the DirectoryIndex directive.
When someone asks for / the server looks down the list of allowed names, and checks in turn to see if each one exists.
The first time that a match is found, the page is served and the process is stopped.
So, if the list is like:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php index.cfm default.asp home.asp
and your name is further down the list than the default page already there, then your page will never show up.
You should use either:
- the same name as whatever was there, over-writing the old file.
- a name that is higher up the list then the original file.
- delete their file and use any name you like from the list.

Did you update the nameservers at your registrar? Most likely you need to change the nameservers to point to the new web host.

You login to your server by FTP and view the default file as pointed out by g1smd. If it contains the same page information as what you see in your browser, you can go ahead and replace the file with your own.
Sometimes, the ISP just ahead of you, might cache the pages and this might result in your browser showing the same page as before. Force your browser to load from the server instead of reusing the cache by pressing CTL and F5 if you are on IE.

I suspect that the DNSs haven't been delegated or have not as yet propergated...

Well, my answer is the same as Bill's so it can easily be disregarded if all is well in the server setup in regards to DNS pointing.
