Thanks, your feedback is greatly appreciated. I have figured out the issue and I don't even want to tell you what it was lol...

I will though as I am sure the suspense is killing you... Right, so the CMS details I was given were correct, however the FTP details they had given me were NOT for the live site. NEVER ASSUME, yea, well I did.

Again, thanks for taking the time to reply.

This could be several things, but perhaps most likely is that Craft isn't able to find the new single's entry template.

If you go into your new single's settings, in the "Site Settings" table you'll see a "Template" column. Assuming your single's entry template exists at `/templates/some-single.twig`, the value for the "Template" column should be `some-single` (or `some-single.twig`). If the template exists in a templates sub folder like `/templates/pages/some-single.twig`, the value should be `pages/some-single`.
