WordPress is one of the most popular blogging applications around. WordPress utilises PHP and MySQL and functions on Linux and Windows webhosting packages and similar platforms. A web hosting company that provides an auto-install function for WordPress is the easiest manner to get it on your web hosting package. There are a range of UK web hosting companies that will offer this function, so check with the technical support team of your UK web host to find out if they do. A program such as Fantastico might be offered by your WHM reseller hosting provider and this kind of program is what automates the WordPress installation in addition to other web applications. If you're using Fantastico for example, you need to log into your web hosting UK account and find Fantastico in the control panel. By clicking on the Fantastico icon you'll reach a control panel that has a variety of programs you can choose to install. When you select WordPress you will get a description of the application and a link titled 'New Installation'. Click this link and fill in the required fields (such as a password, username and which domain and directory to install it on). There are instructions offered by Fantastico on how to fill the fields in. Once you have supplied the necessary information in the required fields, click the 'Install WordPress' button. Information about the database that's going to be created and used for WordPress will then come up on a new page. This information is provided merely in case you want it; Fantastico will create the database so don't worry that you have to do it yourself. All you need to do is click the 'Finish installation' button which takes you to a page containing a link to your new WordPress site. You simply fill in your username and password on the WordPress site and you're ready to modify your new site however you like, such as by choosing a theme for the appearance. By utilising an auto-installation program like Fantastico, the whole WordPress installation process can take less than one minute. Enquire with your UK web host on whether they provide such a program, which removes the hassle of a technical installation and let's you focus your time on developing your WordPress site.
