You shouldn't have to start over. the "blog." part of the install location represents a subdomain, and domain pointers are used to create those. Your server control panel probably gives you full control of those. The WordPress installation itself, is no doubt installed in a folder, or in the root position of your Web server. To verify that, look for the following three folders. wp-admin wp-content wp-includes These are the first level folders of a wordpress install. If they are in the root position of your server, meaning not in a another folder, that's where your blog is installed. If they're inside a folder that's where your blog is installed. And the subdomain pointer is simply directing traffic to that blog installation. Here's an example The Web Server root position would be: (no sub folders is the web root) / The WordPress installation folder if it's not in the root position could be: /Blog/ The subdomain pointer in your domain control panel accomplishes this: The content meant to found any traffic addressed here: http://blog.yourdomain.com <http://blog.yourdomain.com/> Can be found on the server here: /blog/ Email, in most cases, has nothing to do with subdomains.

We weren't paying close attention and the one-click install put our blog at blog.ourdomain.com instead of ourdomain.com as we wanted. The question is, if we use the one-click remove feature on the hosting panel, will we have any issues with our email setup? The email is set up as NAME at ourdomain.com, and the mx record points to a comcast server. We don't want to mess anything up, but since we haven't done anything on the website yet, we thought the simplest thing would be to remove the existing installation and reinstall it where we want it. Any help very gratefully accepted.
