In reply to: installing and transfering help PLEASEYour domain is still pointed at fatcow. It appears the new host has not transferred anything. You may want to contact them, to find out what’s going on, if they were supposed to transfer the site for you. Ideally though, to point the domain name to the new host, you would need to change the nameservers of the domain to your new hosts.

You will need to log into your host’s control panel and create a database and user (with all privileges) that WordPress can use. After that, you’ll need to upload WordPress to your document root folder on your hosting accounts server.
I know it sounds daunting, so let’s take it one step at a time. Do you know how to create a database with your host?
