    If you need immediate help, i can install it for you quick. Shoot me your ftp login/pw and i'll set it up. Are you pointing your domain servers at your host from your registrar?

    A couple things might help us diagnose your problem and come up with a helpful solution.

    What is your host?

    Do they have PHP and mySQL available?

    Are you trying to install Word press using one of the utilities offered by your host?

    If you went with hostgator they have fantastico software that lets you do it in a couple of clicks without having to touch FTP.

    You can't install wordpress on Godaddy's free hosting. You need to buy a hosting plan. Make sure the plan you choose offers wordpress so you can install it automatically.

      Is there a better hosting site that would give me more space and whatnot? Thats pretty affordable?

    Go get your self a host gator account baby plan.
    Web Hosting, Reseller Hosting, and Dedicated Website Hosting w/ cPanel - HostGator

    Then point your domain from Godaddy to hostgator.

    You'll be up in 30 minutes.

    Then login to your cpanel and click on Fantasico icon.

    You'll see Wordpress to the left. Click on that and just
    follow the directions.
    Thanks for all the help! Ill try working on it right now.
