 * I just bought a domain today at [http://www.creativesplat.com](http://www.creativesplat.com)
   and I have tried installing wordpress from bluehost, but I keep getting the error
   403 code and it has never happened to me before. Since I already have another
   website that uses wordpress that bluehost supports.
 * Anyways does anyone know how I could resolve this issue? I’ve already sent a 
   email to bluehost asking for support but I don’t know if they will ever reply
   back.
 * I just want to upload this [http://www.superstevo.com/cs/](http://www.superstevo.com/cs/)
   to creative splat root folder but for some reason the website won’t show it.
 * When I try to upload wordpress on bluehost through simplescripts I get this message
 * Permission Denied
    Your server responded with “Permission Denied”, which means
   you probably have some improper permissions set on your server. If you are not
   familiar with this error (a “403” Error), please contact your server admin or
   web host about possible resolutions.

 * 403 generally means the server can’t read the file it wants, among many many 
   other causes. Bluehost is excellent with their live chat support. I would try
   that.
