Hello Rodrigo,

I will list below some points that you need to take care of at this point:

1 - Although I have never used "directadmin" you have to make sure that your new domain is setup correctly in your hosting provider. I'm sure that in your providers control panel you will be able to add your new domain;

2 - Given that your new domain is setup, next you need to understand which folder is the root folder of your site in your hosting file system;

3 - Then in the root folder, upload all files from the DotNetNuke 5.5 install package - You can get it by clicking in the "Download" link at the very top of DotNetNuke.com site

4 - Now you should check if folder permission is set correctly - Check this http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Wiki/tabid/1409/page/Install_DotNetNuke/Default.aspx under point #5 it says which type of permission you should set up for DNN to install and run correctly;

5 - You also need to have MS SQL database created somewhere in your hosting provider. Maybe you can do that via the control panel of you hosting, maybe not. At the end of the day you need the server name (or ip address), the database name, the user name and the password to be able to answer some of the questions presented during DNN installation process;

6 - With all that done, you should now be able to call your domain from the browser and the installation wizard should be triggered.

Above all, you should make sure that your hosting provider meets the basic DNN requirements, which you can see at http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Wiki/tabid/1409/page/Install_DotNetNuke/Default.aspx as well. Actually this should be STEP ZERO.

Best of luck and post your questions as you go through.

to be clear: first make sure, you web hosting service needs to support Windows Hosting with IIS and SQL server database (or the option to install SQL Server Express).
