Our software here works very differently.

yeh that's why I installed it, just to customise saraogun.com
Do you have a link on how I domain map? And when I do, can I customise saraogun.com through the download?
Thank you!

People download and install the wordpress.ORG software on their computers so that they can do customization and development, not to be used as a website. saraogun.com cannot be used on your localhost installation.

You either have to domain map that domain to a site here on wordpress.COM, or you have to hire a web host such as dreamhost, bluehost, etc., point your domain name at THAT webhost and install the wordpress software at THAT web host.

A few days ago I downloaded WP and when installing I also had to instal Microsoft WebMatrix..
Now it's looks like it's created a new account on wordpress.org and I don't know how to link mydomain saraogun.com to the new http://localhost:16742/
(I have aked this question before but I can't find it on the forum sorry. Plus I know I still need to buy the domain saraogun.com but I just was hoping to first see if it can be moved)
