wampserver and installing joomla 1.0.15

[patty1234]

hello...

iv just bought a domain and iv successfully logged on to my domain using my FTP.
i uploaded joomla in the directory of my website. Iv read the installation manaul but i still do not
understand how to install joomla. I do not know if it is the Wampserver and i do not understand what the Wampserver is and how it works.
when i go to: www.mydomain.co.za/administrator it gives me this message:

Hello,

WAMP is a free tool that web site developers use to test and run web sites on their own computers (ie - wamp is a 'local server' for windows).

Your post doesnt' provide enough info to respond really, but it sounds like either you are confusing the terms you are seeing (or) you have a very strange web host.

G'luck.
