Thank you for the information. I have followed every step but I am now stuck on the last step. So, I have increased my hosting to allow for 2 websites instead of 1. Then I added the second domain in cPanel as an addon domain. Then I installed wordpress using softacululous. THe part I can't figure out is how to "restore" the site using Total Upkeep.
Please help!
Glad to hear you are making progress! I removed the URL from your temporary domain for the sake of your privacy, but you're almost there!
Here is what you have left to do:
That said, if you are stuck on the last step, please do reach out to our 24/7 Technical Support team. They can directly access your accounts with us and should be able to help you with the final steps.

I'm sorry, I'm so confused. I tried to install WordPress, but I couldn't login to the cpanel for my new domain. Is the problem that I started with another website, which is www.treeforteditorial.com?I would like to keep that website, but I am trying to build a second website at the domain www.omoscience.com. I am also confused about "pointing" to hosting. I don't know what that means. Is it a problem that I am trying to have two websites instead of just one?
There are a few different points to account for in the best way to advise you on how to proceed. Let me zoom out and provide some more context before making a recommendation.
First, you will not usually create a new cPanel for you second domain. If you are managing dozens of websites at a time, or creating websites for multiple clients, you may need separate cPanels/plans. If you just want a couple of websites for yourself, putting them both on the same cPanel is not a problem.
Second, the number of sites you can have on one cPanel account will depend on what kind of account you have. Most plans allow multiple websites per account. With our plans here at InMotion, only the WP-1000S plan has a limit of a single website. Every other plan, by default or by custom configuration, can have multiple sites on one cPanel.
Third, you won't need to change anything with your existing site to set up your new site. Leave those files as is.
Now to the issue at hand. Two things need to be done for a domain. First, the domain needs to be pointed at the right nameservers, which ultimately point to the web host. Don't worry, I checked publicly available records and it looks like that has already been taken care of!
If you have not already done so, please add the domain to your cPanel account as an addon domain.
Now, with all that taken care of, you can proceed as described: install WordPress to the site using something like Softaculous, install the plugin to the site and restore the old files from the plugin.
I hope that helps, but I'm hindered a bit in fully assisting you because I can only go on publicly available information here in the support forums. If you'd like someone to access your account directly and take a look at what is going on, you would need to directly contact our Support Team. Hope that helps though!

Apologies-- I slightly misunderstood where you were at in the process.
After you make the backup, you need to restore it to somewhere that your new domain is hosted.
It looks like the domain you posted is currently empty. First, you will need to create a new WordPress installation on that domain. It looks like you've already pointed it to hosting. Assuming it's pointed to us, go ahead and use Softaculous to install WordPress on the site.
This will provide you with a standard new/placeholder WordPress site. That's more important than it may seem-- it means a database and everything on the back end is already set up.
Once that's up and running, log into the site and install the Total Upkeep plugin. You'll now have a plain, new site with nothing new except the plugin, but that's all you'll need! Use the plugin to restore your backup to that new site you just installed on your domain and you'll be all set.
That will depend on how you are currently using your trial BoldGrid website. If you set this up with BoldGrid's Cloud WordPress, you will need to use the Total Upkeep plugin to create a backup of the site, then use the same plugin to restore the site.
If you used another method to set it up, feel free to clarify, or contact our 24/7 Technical Support team for more direct guidance!
