If you are very impresses on wordpress (because it is too good) as a blogging platform, doesn’t matter you are from www.blogger.com or any other platform installing wordpress instantly is not a big task.
Some primary preparation is necessary before you have to set up an wordpress blog.
Following are the things you need for installation:
First You should buy a host with MYSQL and PHP support with at least 50 MB of space and as needed bandwidth which can cost your around $2-10 per month
Second You need a domain name. You should buy it for around $10 and redirect the Name Servers to your host.
And last you need to download the wordpress files from www.wordpress.org
Instant five minutes installation for wordpress:
First unzip all wordpress files to root of your host. (Use FTP or direct file transfer)
Then ensure the thing that your domain name is redirected to your host. It takes maximum 48 hrs for host redirection and 24 hrs for domain redirection.
At your web host create an MYSQL database note down its name, also note your password and SQL host. Then go to your root folder in File manager and edit the config-sample.php file. You have to make some very easy changes in this file. Change DB_name by your database name and other details as passwords and host in other lines. If you don’t know host, keep it as a default named localhost.
Save the above file and rename it by ‘config.php’
Then enter this URL : www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin/install.php (Replace your domain with your own domain)
This will install wordpress, Enter your blog name and email ID.
Note down your password carefully and that’s it You are done.
