WordPress One-Click Installation

Most hosting companies now offer some kind of a “one-click” installation which makes installing WordPress a snap. In this video we will be showing you this process in WebHostingHub, our preferred website hosting company. If you don’t use WebHostingHub…don’t worry…your hosting company’s process is probably identical to the one we will demonstrate. To begin, log in to your hosting account. Next, find the link to open your cPanel, or Control Panel, and click it. Now we will begin the installation process. In WebHostingHub we can do this by clicking one of two icons: Install WordPress or Fantastico Deluxe. Click one of those two and you will be taken to Fantastico. Choose the domain that you wish to install WordPresss on. You also have the option to install it in a sub-directory. If you plan to have multiple websites or blogs within your hosting account, it’s a good idea to install WordPress in a sub-directory. In a future video we will demonstrate how to hide the fact that you are using a sub-directory. If you only intend to have one website, just leave the sub-directory blank. If you’re unsure, just leave the sub-directory blank. Later, if you decide to add additional websites, you can watch our video on adding additional websites in the Going Deeper section of our video tutorials. Now enter the username and password that you would like to log in with once installation is complete. You technically can’t change this username, so make sure it’s something you are happy …
