    I’m new to building a website. I purchased a site from Namecheap.com (example.com) and I’m hosting through freehostia.com. When installing WordPress I was directed to install WordPress to a subdirectory, example.com/1.
    When I type example.com into a browser,I get the error “Internal Server Error…”. When I type example.com/1 into the browser it takes me directly to my new blog.
    How can I set up the site so that when I type example.com into the browser it takes me to the WordPress site at example.com/1? I have zero experience, so any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

    You can use a 301 redirect but this is not a permanent solution as 301 redirects are meant to be temporary. Open your .htaccess file in the root folder of your FTP account and add this line to it:

    Redirect 301 / http://www.yourdomain.com/1/

    that should take care of it.
