 * Alright let me try to help clear things up. 🙂 That did sound pretty confusing.
 * As of right now I am forwarding my wordpress.com account to our domain name. 
   So to our own .com but everything is still edited and done through wordpress.
   com but yet when they go to our .com it looks like it his hosted through the .
   com.
 * However, I want to get away from this forward to the point where we are just 
   using wordpress as the backdrop and move away from themes and having our own 
   web layout and design.
 * On godaddy they have their own FTP client in their hosting control center and
   I uploaded the files to my website’s remote server that we are hosting on their
   site. I followed the steps to create a MySQL on the guides and yet when I do 
   a FTP and try to connect to my remote server from a third party it doesn’t work
   only on their website. (however I could be doing this wrong)
 * Then when I go to the /wp-admin/install.php on my site the page is not there 
   even though the files are on my remote server.
 * Is it cause of the forward? or is it something screwy that I am doing wrong? 
   is it something I need to clear up on godaddy’s end? or something I am doing 
   wrong from this end?
