Next, goto you Domain Manager and direct your domain name to point to that folder. That way, they do not need to add the folder extension in the web address to get to your front page.
Using hosting accounts, it is usually wise to install websites or other components into sub-folders. If you ever want to run more than one website from the same account, they definitely need to be in separate folders. If you ever want to run other, non-related, software such as forum software, they also need to be installed into a separate folder.
One might organize their hosting service like below:
*ROOT*
/jones_com
/jones_net
/war_novels_com
/billing_service_com
/smforum
/coppermine
With the above example, I demonstrated a hosting account file-structure using three web-addresses and two ancillary software titles.
Websites in the above example:
www.jones.com
www.jones.net
www.war-novels.com
www.billingservices.com
Ancillary software packages:
/smforum = simplemachines forum software
/coppermine = coppermine photo gallery software
Notice that the web-addresses do not have to exactly match the folder name, but the folder name should have some resemblance of what it contains (only for organization and memory reasons). I can now go into my Domain Manager and point any "owned" domain name to any of these folders. So, for example, I can type-in www.jones.com and the browser will be pointed automatically to the /jones_com sub-folder.
(NOTE - the reason I put the _com after the folder is in case you also own the .net variation of the same site and want different software to be ran from inside that specific folder)(ANOTHER VARIATION - I personally own .com and .net variations of the same domain name and I have both variations pointing to the same folder).
I hope this helps!

- This is not a joomla function... this is something that MUST be done from inside your web-hosting account's control panel.

well, this is weird
I followed the tutorial step by step(video rocketlauncher tutorial) , and the following url is how I get to my administrator page
foobar.com/Joomla_RT_Firenzie/administrator/
also foobar.com/Joomla_RT_Firenzie is how my page loads up.....I'm just a tad irked, because I was under the impression the setup process would do away with the Joomla_RT_Firenzie folder and everything would be at the root level, what am I not seeing?
the tutorial didnt say this subfolder would be persistent ?

You extracted the zip file to Joomla_RT_Firenzie then uploaded the folder to your root, you need to extract the zip and upload the contents of the folder to the root, not the folder itself.
This is just basic web host stuff really. - Toolbox Digital | Dribbble | Forrst

If i upload all of the subcontents of the "RT_Extracted_DIR" to the root which was created from the rocketlauncherzip, simply going to : www.domain.com supposedly will launch the rocket installer yes?
because vid tutorial says goto www.domain.com/"Extracted Dir Folder Name", as if you move that folder itself to the root.

Yes, that's correct.

Well that's one way of doing it, but seems pointless to upload to a subdir only to have to move it and alter the config later, if it's destination will be the site root anyway... - Toolbox Digital | Dribbble | Forrst

Thank you for the help, is there any chance of other ways of rocketlauncher data transfer/install process to work? Ftp of raw contents takes forever with upload, bandwidth capped at 700kbps/+-~70k/sec.
