All right, so we're back we're going to install WordPress onto our hosting account here now, every
host is going to be a little bit different.
Here again, I said most of them are going to give you a control panel that's going to look something
like this again.
Maybe the icons may look a little bit different.
And on the skin, that is on their control panel.
But for the most part, it's be kind of the same.
Just look for the names, there is probably going to be a area for applications.
Now, this is going to be where the host has kind of pre installed versions of software that will then
install onto your host and account for you.
Some offer a lot of options.
Some will just offer one like this one is just offering a WordPress website.
Some will offer tons of different courses and accounting platforms and CRM and things like that.
They may be hidden under something called soft delicious.
Just maybe look for that account, but you have to see something given the title like applications or
installations or something like that look just like that.
But for this case, this is perfect because we want to install a WordPress website and we're can do
it the very easy way first and the next video, I'll show you how to do it manually in case your host
does not provide something like this.
It's going to go ahead and click on a WordPress manager and you can say you can see that it says installation.
No compatable installation is on this account.
So go ahead and create one.
And first, it's going to walk me right through.
It's going to show me it's going to show me what version of WordPress it will install at the time of
this video.
This is the most current version, really doesn't matter for the rest of what we're going to be doing
here, what version you see, because it may just look a little bit different.
But for the most part, everything is going to be the same.
Not a lot changes from version to version of WordPress.
They do make improvements, but they get nothing you don't need to really worry about or find this video
to be outdated on.
So it's going to ask you, where do you want to start?
So maybe I wanted to install this in one of those subdomains that I talked about, or maybe I want to
just put this into a folder.
So maybe I want to create a whole separate blogging area on my website.
For the most part, you're going to want to do that.
You're going to install this as being the main part of the website.
So we'll just keep the regular domain name as it is.
And I'll just click install and I'm going to watch this go through.
And this is going to ask me a couple of questions.
When it does, we're going to want to write this information down or some of the installs.
It's going to do the work for me and give me a username and password and maybe even the database information
that I'm going to want to write down.
All right.
So you can see right there, it finished it up.
I can access the websites already install the for me one from nothing.
We saw that file.
We open up the folder and we saw there was nothing on my host.
We'll take a look at what it did here in a second.
But it did give me a username and password, so I want to go ahead and copy that.
I'm on a Mac.
So what I like to do is open up just like text, edit.
And for right now I'm just going to page that information there.
So I have it personally.
I also use Evernote.
I love to host all my passwords and things in there.
But for right now, I'm just going to use this little text program.
All right.
So that's going go back so we know that it's installed.
Come back home.
Let's go back into the file manager here and we can take a look.
Remember, we went into the public HTML file and I can see there's a whole bunch of files in there now,
not just the CGI bin.
This is everything that WordPress uses to basically work.
Again, none of this stuff is something you'll probably ever have to worry about, but just know that
it's there and you can see that it did all the work for me.
Now, in the next video, I'm going to go ahead and install this manually.
So if you did not if you do not want to watch that, feel free to skip over to the next video.
If you do want to see how it's done manually, it's great to learn how to do.
It's not very complicated, very kind of simple to do for the most part.
Just a couple extra steps.
