Wordpress and Webfaction images issue

Hi all,

apologies in advance as I'm a novice user here. I am trying to host my own domain (snapsphere.co.uk registrar: 123reg.co.uk) on WebFaction. The site will be produced on WordPress.

My problem is, I cannot see images when uploading them onto Wordpress, either in the editor or in the final webpages. even the stock images don't appear The images are shown as empty boxes in the editor.

so far I have managed to edit the registrar control panel to update NS servers. these are the steps I have gone through so far...

1. Add DOMAIN Added my domain as www.snapsphere.co.uk The domain list now has my initial webfaction site (username.webfaction.com Web437) and my new domain, also 437.

**I am not sure what to choose for the "Normal webtraffic handled by" option. Should it be left blank or should i select 'username' (only 2 options)?

1. Create WEBSITE Name: Snapsphere Domain: www.snapsphere.co.uk

2. Create NEW APPLICATION Name: wptest1 Wordpress 3.9 Web 437

3. Edit WEBSITES I edited the website entry for snapsphere. "reuse application" - wptest1 Web437 URL: http://www.snapsphere.co.uk/

I then use webfaction video (on youtube) to setup wordpress using the Admin password generated by webfaction. Finally, then uploading a theme.

Any suggestions? I have a feeling its something to do with WebFaction as I'm assuming the images should be saved on their servers when uploading.

Thanks in advance.
