 * Thank you Tara but I was contacted by the support desk of my web host. I purchased
   a course through Udemy that included 1 year of free web hosting. I didn’t realize
   that the domain wasn’t part of the free year. It really is 1 year free of only
   hosting. I never bought the catguytx.com domain and that is what the problem 
   is. I should have realized that, but I didn’t. What threw me is that when installing
   WP it gave the the option of catguytx.com or 79.170.40.37/catguytx.com (which
   is free). I’m knowledgeable enough and did some searching on my own and I had
   already opened up the SQL database and made the changes in wp_options but of 
   course, that didn’t solve my issue because the domain isn’t registered. When 
   I changed the database back to the 79.170.40.37/catguytx.com, that brought everything
   back correctly. Thank you for your time….
