Ok lets start at the domain.

Please change the nameservers at your registrar to ns1.x10hosting.com and ns2.x10hosting.com. Then log in to cPanel and select parked domains. Add the domain there.

Next step is to get up a page. This all depends on what angle you are going to take. Are looking at getting into web development or just having a web page. if the later is the case then you might want to install a Content Managment System (CMS). Some of these can be found in cpanel under Fantastico. These systems are pre made easy to use and style web pages that you need very little if no programing know how. Depending on what type of website you require, you should look at the different offerings and read up a little on each.

Now that I made it to my destination and was in the process of installing joomla look what it said to me.... :roflwtf:

Joomla v. 1.5
[/B]
"The installation can not be completed:- You chose to install in the main directory of the domain psstation.x10hosting.com, but there are conflicting filenames, therefore we can not proceed. Following filenames already exist in the main directory of the domain psstation.x10hosting.com (path="/home/aero/public_html/").You must manually remove these files before proceeding with auto-installation:
robots.txt

Click on the browser's Back button to fix reported errors.

"

Problems never leave me.....:bsflag:

Open up the .config file in Joomla and setup your account details in there.

Sorry but I don't get what ur saying. Sorry. I'm installing Joomla from the Fantastic thing in the cPanel. I dont want to go to Joomla.com

Ok, open up your file manager in cPanel and then look in your main directory and tell me what files are in your "public_html".

Another option as the account is still new would be to treminate that account and create a new one. If you would like to do this please read this thread -> http://forums.x10hosting.com/upgrades-downgrades-changes/42720-transfer-between-hosting-types.html
