There are two options to install Wordpress:
1 If you don't have a special web hosting you can try wordpress.com. They have a very fast service. In 4-5 minutes your blog is ready. But if you need something better you may choose to have your personal domain and a professional web hosting (HostGator is the best!).
2. If you had already chosen your domain you can start to install Wordpress.
This is my tutorial Step by Step:
1 Setup your hosting account
Get your FTP account information:
-Hosting/FTP username: your username;
-FTP password: your password;
2 Create MySQL database
Don't forget your username and password.
3 Install wordpress files
To install wordpress go to WordPress.org and download the latest.
WordPress comes in a .zip file so unzip it.
In Wordpress folder rename wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php.
Open wp-config.php in text editor and find this part:
// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database */
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘putyourdbnamehere‘);
/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘usernamehere‘);
/** MySQL database password */
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘yourpasswordhere‘);
/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost‘);
4. Upload Wordpress files on your server
Go to http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/install.php
This is what you'll see when you enter the adress:
