Hiya davi...welcome
Upload all viewable files to htdocs folder.

You should have 3 folders.
cgi-bin
htdocs
logs

If you don't have these they hav'nt been created yet. Powweb will have to create them. You cannot.

ok i thought so, my problem is now that it only shows up on http://creatureonecom.powweb.com/

in the message i got it said:

You need to register, or modify your domains registration to use
the following DNS servers:

Primary : ns3.powweb.com
63.251.213.33
Secondary: ns2.powweb.com
207.212.16.4

i went to ns2 cause ns3 didn't work and it auto asked my for my username/password and i entered everything i had and it wouldn't let me in...

i really want my site to be creatureone.com

can you help?

If you just registered the domain when you purchased your site from Powweb (which appears to be what you did) - don't to anything. It takes 24-72 hours for your 'real' domain to propagate through the DNS caches on the internet (this should be in the FAQ).

The only time you need to modify DNS information is if you already have the domain and it's pointing to a different web host. And then you'd change it with your domain registrar - not on the hosts DNS servers.
