If you own your domain name

If you, like me, own a domain name, you can install wordpress into your domain's cPanel.

A domain is like www.romance-fire.com I own it because I paid for it. You can apply for your own domain at web-hosting website.

You will need to pay a one-time off subsrciption fee and a monthly fee.

Next, to install WordPress, you can download the programme from wordpress.org
Just download the wordpress zip file and using ftp, transfer the files to say for example www.yourdomain.com/blog folder

If not, just by a click, you can use the Fantastico in your cpanel. Just by a click, your wordpress will be up.

Some terms to understand before moving on...

cPanel (control panel) is a graphical web-based management tool, designed to make administration of web sites as easy as possible.(read more...)

Fantastico De Luxe is a third party add on for web hosting management software (read more...)
