How to Install wordpress on a domain


The wordpress manual install is supposed to take about 5 minutes for someone who has worked with building websites before.  For someone new to creating websites it will take you 15-20 minutes or so depending on how computer savy you are. Here are all the steps:

Register a domain

First register a domain name. There are many companies to purchase a domain, for example, Indialinks.com.

Choose a webhosting

Is the virtual place where you will host your website. There are both paid and  free hosting services available. If you’re starting your website in a professional way we recommend a paid hosting.

Create a database

After you buy the hosting you will receive your login details for control panel. Once inside go to the Databases section and select MySQL. Now you have to create a new database and a new user and finally add that user to database.

Download WordPress

You can download the latest version of WordPress on wordpress.org. Extract the downloaded zip file.

Install Filezilla (FTP client)

You can download Filezilla on this website filezilla-project.org . Once downloaded and installed you need to go to site manager, login with your Username and password which you got from your hosting service.

Uploading WordPress

After logging in with Filezilla you will see files on your computer on the left and have the domain files on the right side. In the latter find the folder “public_html”. Select all files contained in the WordPress folder (in your computer) and drag into the folder “public_html”.

Installing WordPress in the domain

Finally, go to the browser and type in the domain. Now fill in your Database details which we created in step 3. You can also fill in your website title and Admin username and password.

Once installed you can access the administration panel by typing in the browser-
yourdomain.com /wp-admin .

Please note that many web hosts provide auto scripts installation facility , if you have such hosting then you don't need to install wordpress manually.
