Step-by-Step Guide to WordPress Installation

Step 1: Log in to the Hosting Provider

First, you need to log in to your hosting provider. Go to your provider's website — for many, this will be World4You. Make sure you have already purchased a hosting package and a domain. Note that activating these services may take some time.

Step 2: Wait for Domain Availability

It may take a few hours for your newly purchased domain to become available. If you do not have access to your domain upon logging in, be patient—it will be available soon. Check back after a few hours to see if you can access your domain.

Step 3: Access the Hosting Settings

Once your domain is active, go to the settings of your hosting account. Here you will find the section for software installations. You should navigate to the "Easy Install" option. This assistant makes the software installation incredibly easy.

Step 4: Choosing the Installation

Click the button to "Install New Software". WordPress should typically be suggested as the first option. It is easy to install and offers many customization options – perfect for your needs.

Step 5: Selecting WordPress

Select WordPress from the list of available software packages. You will receive a small preview of the WordPress description, which explains that it is based on PHP and MySQL and is suitable for many applications.

Step 6: Create Database

Creating a new database is important for WordPress to function correctly. Leave the other settings as they are. Select your main domain and make sure the installation path remains empty – the default is sufficient for now.

Step 7: Start Installation

Now it gets serious! Press the "Start Installation" button. From this moment on, you need to be a little patient. The installation may take several minutes, or in some cases, even hours. Just let the process run, and use the time to wait for the next video, where you will learn how to log in to WordPress.

Once the installation is complete, you should receive all the necessary information to log in to your newly installed WordPress. You are now ready to design and manage your website!
