In reply to: URl addressYou may want to contact the host about it since their installer appears to be placing WordPress in a separate folder. You can attempt to migrate the files and folder over to your document root and change the site url and home settings. Here’s a link to change those settings:

In reply to: hosting problem or not?You should be able to export your data from the .com site and then use a wordpress plugin to import that data into your self-hosted website. I’m not sure why you are trying to access FTP to do so. However you uploaded WordPress into your hosting account should give you the same access as FTP.

In reply to: hosting problem or not?Hi magrand,
I have found a handy guide for migrating wordpress.com websites:
Migrating a WordPress.com website to self hostedAlso, using widgets from a third party shouldn’t be an issue as long as you are comfortable manipulating code. Remember, you have complete access to the WordPress code and can manipulate it as you see fit. However, why use a third party paid service for widgets when there’s tons of free plugins for WordPress that will do the same thing.
As for the HTTP errors you are getting, this is likely due to the server configuration.

In reply to: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected, HELP!?How did you install WordPress? You had to upload WordPress somehow so you should have access to your files. Are you using cPanel with your hosting provider? If so, you can use file manager to do the same tasks as FTP.
When you say you cant login can you be more specific? Do you get a specific error message?

In reply to: Confused. 500 – Internal server error.500 errors are generic in nature, so they dont give you specifics. You can either look at your error logs for the server to determine the exact nature of the error.
Typically, when I see 500 errors during installations it’s related to either file permissions set incorrectly or file ownership. I would start by verifying that all the files have the correct file permissions.

In reply to: Wp-login page 404 errorI would contact your hosting provider to see if they have a backup they can restore. A 404 means the requested file does not exist. Somehow the file was either renamed, removed, or moved.
You could also download a new copy of WordPress and replace the missing files.

In reply to: Install wordpress in a folder different to rootWhy not install WordPress to that specific folder? Or move your existing installation there? WordPress is domain specific so it need ALL the files to be in the correct place for it to function correctly.
