Quick Steps to Installing WordPress

Wordpress is very simple to install. If you have a web hosting account and a domain name, then you only have to follow some simple steps. Now I will tell you how you can install wordpress. You have to follow some simple steps which are as follows.

Download a copy of wordpress software. Download is easily available on wordpress website. When you download the wordpress it will be a zip file so you need to first extract files from this zip folder when it is downloaded.

Next step involves creating FTP program or file transfer protocol program that is used for transferring files to your host server from your computer. There are many FTP programs available some even free on internet. So getting one for you will not be a big problem. When FTP is created get its access information including domain and user name and password.

Now you are supposed to get your MySQL database integrated with your web host. Link for this purpose can be found on your hosting user interface. You should take notes of host name, password and user name etc. then verify your username with your web host. Then in the Config file you need to key all this information. Put appropriate information in DB_ password, DB_User and DB_host. After getting finished save the fie as wp-config-sample.

Now upload this complete program from your pc to your hosting server. Save it in root directory or sub directory in the server. It depends on your choice which one you choose. Once it is done upload this entire directory and files in the already unzipped folder of wordpress.

Then install your wordpress in your server directory. Provide your domain name and other information. Once the URL is entered wordpress will do the rest of the job.
