HiWhen I go to my website URL (swift.trap17.com) it says The page cannot be displayed. Why is that?

well i get the page which says

Welcome to your hosting account

So it seems to me that you might have not uploaded the site in public_html folder...make sure to upload the file in that folder.

OK now it work. about the public_html folder do I have to upload everything in that folder like my IPB files? Because I uploaded them in their own folder but it says page cannot be found when i try to install it!

yes you have to make sure that anything you want to display on the web, has to be uploaded to the public_html folder.
Once you upload all the files...then install the forum in the normal way.

For e.g. you copied the files of IPB in forums folder which is in public_html folder. after that you have to run the installation file by going on to the url of that....like...

http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

this is just an example to tell you that you dont have to write this URL...
http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

make sure that you use the first one..not the second...and also make sure that you are using the right file name...i've just taken the example on my own.
