Maybe you put it in a directory.
Since that site looks completely empty.

Can you see the files there through FTP ?

did you install in the root of your site? because you need to install it in public_html or public_http, something like that, you can't install it right in the main directory, this directory is not viewable to the public

It needs to be installed to the public_html directory. Move all the files to that folder and then go to the simplemachines.org website and get a file called "repair_settings.php" Upload that file to the directory that smf is in and point your browser to it and changes settings as needed. It should work after that.

There must be a "public _html"

or see if you can find "www"

Go back to the root of your site and look for these two folders.
(They both are the same thing, 'www' is just a shortcut)

You don`t have to make the "public_html" folder at all. You should see it when you go into cpanel.
