 * I am in the process of trying to set up a wordpress site. I have purchsed by 
   URL, signed up for hosting with memsnet and have uploaded wordpress using filezilla.
   This 5 minute process has taken me the best part of 2 days due to my lack of 
   technical know-how.
 * The problem is that my website is now located at [http://www.example.co.uk/wordpress](http://www.example.co.uk/wordpress)
   as opposed to [http://www.example.co.uk](http://www.example.co.uk), which is 
   where I would like it to be.
 * When I go to [http://www.example.co.uk](http://www.example.co.uk) I get a basic
   page which says Index and has wordpress listed as a hyperlink. When I click on
   wordpress I can the access my site.
 * Does anyone know how i go about changing this so that my website will be at the
   correct address?
 * I hope this makes some sense.
 * Many thanks

 * Thank you for getting back to me so quickly.
 * I have followed these instructions (I think), but I now just have a blank screen.
   Does anyone know what I have done wrong?
