  I was trying to get my hostgator account to point to my semipublished wordpress site…while running troubleshooting, I noticed that my account is labeled fencerniche…not fencer(s)niche.com as it should be….I’ve built most of the site under fencerniche….what can I do to easily resolve this?

  Please advise…

  Also, the hello page keeps popping up first even though I thought I made it invisible so the first page to show up would be At home with fencing….Please advise. Thanks!!

  You can make the “At home with fencing” page your homepage at Settings > Reading in your Dashboard. You’ll want to change that setting to have the posts not appear on your homepage.

  Just to make sure, you’d rather have your site loading at http://fencersniche.com/ right? To do that you’ll want to follow our steps for mapping a domain name.
