This is Dave from Ace-Websites.com. This is a short video just to show you how to install WordPress on to your web space. This is absolutely incredibly easy. I could not believe how simple it was when I first tried it. Because in the past, I’ve been installing WordPress and using the files at WordPress actually give you and is very complicated. This way is mega, mega simple. So here it goes.
Basically look into your C panel, this one is with Hellsgator now hopefully you are with Hellsgator. But if not, you should have a similar looking panel. And what you need to look for is Fantastico and here it is Fantastico De Luxe, double click on that. That takes you into the panel. Now what you want to look for down here is WordPress on the Blogs. Click on that.
What you need to do is go to link which says New Installation and click on that. The chances are it’s going to give you your actual domain there. So you don’t need to worry about this a bit. So your domain name should come up in that box. Now normally when you install the Blog, you can just install it in your home directory. If for whatever reason you want to install it to different directory, for example called Blog, so you might have in my case www.Ace-Websites.com/Blog, and then the files for the Blog. You just type in Blog there. But I always install mine directly so leave that one blank, Scroll down, in the Admin access data. You need to put in your Username which is the username you’ve put in for your hosting account. And in this box you need to put in your password again the password you’ve agreed for your hosting account with Hellsgator or whoever you are with.
In terms of nickname you can just put in whatever you like. This is a name that will appear in your Blog for example when you post an article. It is something that you can change later so don’t get too hang up about what you put there. Just put in Dave or David.
In the email box, basically just put in the email address that you would like to use in response to this website. You can put in whatever you like there, and on the site name, just put in the name of your website and you can call it whatever you want, it doesn’t have to be the domain name so just put whatever you like and again of you make a mistake there don’t worry you can change that in WordPress later on. In the last box you got the chance to put in a description of your website. And you can absolutely put anything you like there but again you can adjust that later so for now maybe you just leave that blank.
Now this is it, all you do is install WordPress. I’m not going to do it here because I’ve already got WordPress installed on my site but it literary is as simple as that, you click on install WordPress it will settle the database and upload all relevant WordPress files unto your web space and within a few minutes you’ll be able to go online, type in your domain and your new WordPress Blog will appear. Okay, that’s it for now. See you soon.
