Help about cPanel.

Hello,

This is my 1st time to open a cpanel really, after purchasing my hosting and domain, start viewing tutorial about how to use the cpanel and set up a wordpress. I found a good tutorial in youtube and starting to use hes technique in setting up wordpress not knowing theres is an easy option but its too late.

When I start uploading the wordpress file via FTP, then suddenly my PC shut and the middle of the uploading, after Im not sure but I decided to delete the wordpress files that are in the remote public_html, then I think theres some folder I deleted that not supposed to be delete Im not sure though.

Then I saw another tutorial the easy way via Fantastico and it was easy installation, after finishing install already input the user and pass, it says Congratulation or something like that... I think its successful 3/3

But when I click the wp-admin Its not directing to the wordpress but in OpenDNS there is a message "You tried to visit but its not loading."

What should I do?? Please help, Is there a Reset Button or Restore Default in cPanel?

I also tried to remove the wordpress then install again, but the problem is just the same. The website unavailable

    I just tried to visit the site and it's not available and it's not listed in whois and is currently available to buy apparently. Are you having problems buying it or setting up wordpress? I'm a bit confused.

      Thank you for your reply. I already bought the domain, I think I have problem setting up the wordpress.

      Why I getting the unavailable site? Im not really good in setting up cPanel but i think the Fantastico is easy to setup.

      What do you think?

        No - if the domain is the link you posted (watch7k.com) it is still listed as "available" - does not show as being registered.

          Okay thank you so much for your help, now I understand after I check my hosting the domain is still not active. Thank you for your help. I didnt realize that after now.

    I agree, something basic is missing.

    To state the obvious;

    1) You need to own the domain name.
    2) You need to point it to a host (DNS names)
    3) You need to install wordpress on that host (using Fantastico or manually).

    Which part of this formula is missing? Can you confirm all three points above are in place?

      I thought I was having hard time installing wordpress all this time domain that I purchased still NOT active. But the thing is I already paid for the Hosting and Domain as package and yet the Hosting is activated while the Domain isn't.

        Contact the hosting company - they can probably solve it quickly for you.

    Yeah, that can happen. Your host has created a place for your website but the internet doesn't know that yet until you buy a domain name and point it to your hosting space.

    In the meantime the hosting account is live (it lives on the IP address of your server with a slash and your username). You can usually also log into what "will be" your cPanel while you're waiting for your domain name to resolve to it.
