WordPress is an exceedingly popular blogging application. WordPress utilises PHP and MySQL and functions on Linux and Windows webhosting packages and similar platforms. The easy way to get WordPress on your web hosting package is to have a host that offers auto-install for the application. 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. Your cpanel hosting uk provider may offer Fantastico (or a similar program) which is a program that automates the installation of numerous web applications on a web server. 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. Choose WordPress and a description of the application will come up as well as a 'New Installation' link. 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. Click the 'Install WordPress' button once the required fields' information has been supplied. 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. Type in your password and username on the WordPress site and you can now edit your newly created site, for example by choosing a theme for your site's appearance. You can have WordPress installed on your web hosting package in less than a minute by using a program such as Fantastico that automates the installation. Therefore find out if your UK web host provides this program or a similar one so that you can avoid a potentially difficult technical installation and focus instead on building up your new WordPress site.
