Domain URL Issue

So I recently installed WordPress to my Hostgator account and everything went smoothly after painstakingly stumbling my way around removing index.php from my URL’s, but the issue I’m having is that WordPress or the theme I’m using automatically assigns my main domain to a blog post and not a page that I can edit. I don’t plan on using WordPress for a blog site, so this is a major issue that I cannot seem to figure out. I tried to follow a guide about installing WordPress to a subdirectory and pointing the url to https://www.mydomain.com/home or something, but I just screwed it up and had to reinstall WP again.
