I have bought a domain @ namecheap and 1TB hosting @ gearserve but once i check my domain its showing

Welcome! This domain was recently registered at namecheap.com. The domain owner may currently be creating a great site for this domain. Please check back later!

I have installed WP on this and once i access domain/wp its showing 500 ISE.

try deleting .htaccess ..

while going to filemanager via cpanel, just tick on show .(dot) files .. or something like that and you will be able to see it

Have you installed wordpress correctly? After your transfered the files to your public_html via ftp, did you setup the admin account?

WP was installed with softaculous.

WP was installed with softaculous.

You should always use the ftp method to install wordpress, it takes a little more time but always works. You should try it out and see what happens.
