WordPress Website Installation
Set up your own WordPress Hosted blog. (NOT WORDPRESS.COM)

Save the file in a well known place. I use Customer Files/CustomerName/FileFolder/File

- Hostgator Cpanel Login, username and password.
- FTP host address, username, and password
- Hostgator database name, username, and password. Local host or IP Address

Hosting can be obtained for about $70.00 / year at Hostgator

- I prefer hostgator. It seems more reliable.
- Unlimited hosting of websites for $130.00 a year.
o A domain on Godaddy costs between $2.99 and $50.00 for most domains. Premium exceptions.
- Godaddy for domain registration.
- Top level domains .net, .org, .com mostly taken.
- New top level domains .buzz, .ninja, .tips etc…..more expensive (better names)
- Pointing your NameServers from GoDaddy to Hostgator.
o Creating a new hosted domain space (website) on Hostgator
- Use FileZilla to upload your FTP files to your web host.
- FTP= File Transfer Protocol (don’t panic)

- Upload the WordPress package for installation.
o Creating a database on your web server. MySQL
o ADVANCED. Use Dreamweaver to access the back end for advanced editing.

- HTML=Hyper Text Markup Language the most common language of the web.
- PHP= Personal Home Page, now stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor.
