How can one create a new ulr to build a team site on. I am currently running a small business server using sharepoint 2010. Using the wizard, the ulr is prepopulating with a ulr that is not desired as the name for the site.

Hi waddison,

According to your description, you come across an issue about how to create a new url for the farm.

As a workaround, we can configure Alternate Access Mapping for the web application to add a new URL for SharePoint site.

Here is a detail article about how to add another url to a site:

It would be better if you can provide the screenshot of the page when you create a url using wizard, then I can provide further suggestions for you.

Best regards,
