    I have just tried installing wordpress but when I type in the domain name I get the "This domain name has just been registered" page from 1and1. However if i type in domainname.com/wp-admin the wordpress dashboard comes up.

    As you can probably guess this is my first time. Can't figure out what i've done wrong and am starting to pull my hair out. Any ideas?

    FTP into your site and check to see if there's an index.html in the root. If there is, rename it to index.bak or something like that.

    UTOPIA, i believe you have the following in your root directory.
    index.html
    index.php

    Some hosting company will create a default index.html for their clients. Remove it and your wordpress is ready.
