How To Install WordPress on HostGator in 2018

Do you know WordPress powers 25% of the Website in the world, & it’s the simplest yet most popular blogging software ever made?

Getting started with WordPress is quite easy, and the very first step is to install WordPress on your hosting account.

Most of the shared hosting for WordPress offers a quick script to install WordPress, and you don’t have to take the manual route to create your WordPress blog.

Today I am going to discuss how to install WordPress on Hostgator web hosting service.

Step by step guide to install WordPress on HostGator :

One of the fastest and easiest ways to Install WordPress on your hosting account is using QuickInstall powered by Mojo marketplace. It will make the installation process easy, and within minutes you will have your WordPress blog installed, up and running.

HostGator offers various ways by which you can install WordPress on their server.

Manual

Quick Install

In this WordPress installation guide, we will be using the QuickInstall method to install WordPress on hostgator.

This is one of the easiest ways to get started with WordPress & within 5 minutes your WordPress site will be up. Follow this guide and feel free to ask questions if you have any:

Login to your HostGator web panel. Under services/Software click on QuickInstall.

Source

On the QuickInstall page, you need to select “WordPress’ on the left side. In 2018, HostGator also offered services that will cost you a lot to Install & simply set up a Theme. I would suggest skipping that option, & just follow this guide to setup everything on your own. (It’s easy & doesn’t take much time)

Source

On the next page,  drop-down select the domain on which you want to install WordPress blog.

Here you can decide where you want to install WordPress. Either at the root of the directory or under the sub-domain. For example:

Root Directory: https://ift.tt/2HDFj8p

Sub-directory: https://ift.tt/2voLDye

If you are new to HostGator and have a baby plan or above plan, you can add as many domains as you want and you can host multiple websites on a single hosting package.

Click on next & now configure rest of settings as directed below.

Make sure that you don’t use “admin” as username, as this is a security risk. Rather use your email address or your nickname.

The point is to make it hard to guess. Before hitting the magic button Install WordPress, Cross check if you have done everything right. Else rolling back things will consume time.

Source

While HostGator Quick Install is setting up your WordPress blog, it might try to upsell you by offering stuff like WordPress theme or any such service.

Source

I suggest you Skip it & I did the same. It’s easy to Install WordPress of your own. It will take few minutes, and your WordPress blog will be installed & you will get an email with your dashboard link, username & password.

Source

on HostGator server and you can access your WordPress dashboard by going to “domain.com/wp-admin” (Replace domain.com with your actual domain name)

Make sure you add your email here. So that information about the installation will be sent to your Email blog.

How To Manually Install WordPress Blog on any Web-Hosting

WordPress is the most favorite platform for developing websites as it powers nearly 59% of all the websites using a CMS platform. This is typically due to its simple interface and providing the ease to use plugins for extended operability and support.

I’m not going to discuss the benefits of Install WordPress Manually, but as added by many experts, manual installation is more secure than installing wp using one-click installation scripts.

Things required to Install WordPress Manually:

We need a couple of things handy before we start with the process. So, here is the list of things, which you should be prepared with.

WordPress software: Download the latest version of WordPress from the official download page. (A Zip File)

You should have FTP access to your public_html directory. (This is the folder that will hold the WordPress installation files)

cPanel access to create Database and DB user and password. (In this tutorial, I’m using www.Hostgator.com as an example)

So I assume, you have everything ready and you have downloaded WordPress File too.

Create Database and Database User:

For this, you will need the cPanel access to your hosting account. WordPress typically stores all the information in a database. A database can be thought as a storage house for all the content a visitor views on your website. It stores the text files, WordPress Themes, Plugins etc.

For storing the data you will need to create a database which can be done using the below procedure.

Log in to your cPanel.

Create MySQL Database Wizard

2. Click on MySQL database wizard under database, and create a database.

Creating Database for WordPress Installation

Create next step and give a username and password to your newly created database. My suggestion, use password generator there to create a strong and complex password.

User and pass for WP Database

Once you click on Create user, next step is to give privilege to the users. On the next page, click on all privileges to the newly created user and click on next step.

Giving Privileges to a Database user

That’s it and you have created a database and username for your new WordPress installation. Make sure, you note down all the details: DB name, DB username and DB password in a notepad, as we will be needing it in next step.

Install WordPress Manually Tutorial:

So, I assume we are all set to move ahead. From here, we can take 2-3 different steps to move ahead with manual installation of WordPress. You can either extract .zip file directly and edit wp-config file, as shown below and upload complete WordPress folder to root of your domain (Public_html), or you can use cPanel file manager to extract and edit the content of wp-config file. Anyways, the only step which we need here is changing the wp-config content and upload it to the right folder on your FTP. You can use free FTP client like FileZilla, to do it. But to keep this tutorial simple, I will be using Web hosting cPanel. For Godaddy, the dashboard screen will change a bit, but more or less, steps are the same.

Uploading WordPress to your cPanel:

Now, under your cPanel, go to file manager and upload the WordPress zip file which you have downloaded. Once you have uploaded the WordPress.zip file, click on extract and extract everything to public_html directory. (Note: it should be first WordPress installation on your cPanel). If it’s an add-on domain, extract files to the directory which you have given to add on domain. Usually public_html/addon-domain name.

To make this step simple, I’m extracting everything under public_html directory.

Under your cPanel hosting, you can go to Files > File manager and browse to the public_html directory and upload the WordPress.zip file.

Extracting WordPress In Public_html

Usually, file extractor will create a directory name “WordPress” and extract all files under it. Since we are doing the installation on the main domain, (www.domain.com) and not (https://ift.tt/2EWmZEQ), we will move all files to directly under /public_html director by using move command. Browse to /public_html/WordPress using file manager again, select all files and click on move at the top, and move all files to public_html.

Editing WordPress Wp-config file:

Now, next step is to fill out the database information in Wp-config file. You can make a copy of wp-config-sample.php and rename it to wp-config.php. Now, select wp-config.php and click on edit:

Editing-wp-config-WordPress

In this file, here are the couple of things which you have to change:

// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** // /** The name of the database for WordPress */ define('DB_NAME', 'database_name_here'); /** MySQL database username */ define('DB_USER', 'username_here'); /** MySQL database password */ define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password_here'); /** MySQL hostname */ define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

Now, replace database_name_here, username_here, password_here with the details which we created in step 1.

Db_host usually remains Localhost in most of the shared hosting like Bluehost, Dreamhost & Hostgator. Once you have added those details, click on save changes.

Executing WordPress Manual installer script:

Till now, we have done all the basic settings which we need to install WordPress manually. Now, all we need to do is run the WordPress install script, give a user and password to your wp-admin and do some basic settings. Here is last thing which you need to do to have your WordPress blog up and running:

Go to this URL:

https://ift.tt/2qB7FJs (replace domain.com with your actual domain name here). First, select the language of WordPress installation:

Select-Installation-language

Final WordPress Manual Installation

On the next screen, give a username and password to your WordPress installation. Try avoiding giving admin as username and use a complex password. Once everything is set, you can log in to your admin dashboard by going to the following link. Replace domain.com with the actual domain name:

https://ift.tt/1yplx4u

Success Note – After Complete Installation

Done. We’ve successfully installed WordPress 100% manually.
