Website help, wordpress disabled

[threadbears2]

Hi, sorry i am a complete noob when it comes to this but i normallly muddle my way through stuff.
I simply want to make a website and host it free.
I have made an account with x10 and have directed my domain nameservers to the x10 webservers but my luck has now ended and im goung round in circles achieving nothing.

I beleive i need to load wordpress onto the hosting in order to make a website?

I put wordpress into the serach bar and find a link to upload wordpress but when i click on it a box comes up sayig its been disabled and to contact the administrator.

I do not know what im doing wrong or what to do from here.

I opened the account under my name, the domain is mine, the email is mine, its my details on the hosting.

Pleas, any help is apprechiated but remember im a noob.
Thank you for reading.

It seems the service is experiencing issues at this moment on x13. Do you know what server you are on?

 

[spacresx]

you are on x14 servers which seem to be working.
its x13 that currently has issues.

you do not have to use wordpress but many do..
i suppose it depends on your knowledge about website building.
primarily what you do for a website is in the public_html folder.
thats the main directory you need to work in.

Ok thankyou for all your help. I found a differnt button that once pressed it gave me options to upload wordpress.

My next issue is ive chosen a template and loaded it up, ive moved it to the public directory but can not see any way of using a site builder type feature or edit the template.

Going to the domain just brings up a screen that has an x10 logo and says i need to upload it to the public directory which i beleive i have, it shows the folder there in the file manager.

Edit, i have now downloaded sitepad and am trying to work out how to build a site with it.

Ok, im sorry, i know im a mess lol.
Ive made a website using site pad, ive moved it to the public_html folder but when i go to the web address it still shows the holding page telling me to move the website to the public_html folder, what am i missing?

If i put /sp on the end of the domain i get the site but how do i get rid of that?

Thank you so much for your patience.

The /sp is what was added when you elected to install the software. You can remove the install and when you re-install sitepad make sure to remove the adding /sp it includes inside the "domain" url for the install itself.
