    I’ve installed WordPress and it gave me my new URL, however it doesn’t take me to my new Blog page, but rather a Go Daddy page, saying that my domain is parked there for free. What did I do wrong and how can I get to my page?

    There is probably an index.html or home.html file in the same directory as the WordPress index.php file. Remove the index.html or home.html file, either via FTP or your hosting provider’s file manager, and all should be fine.

    What should the correct file name be for me to change it in my providers file manager (sorry, I’m new to all of this).

    WordPress should have its own index.php file, so just remove the index.html or home.html file and everything should be fine.
