Note that this step will describe how to manually install WP on the server, although there are some applications that can automatically do this for you, if web hosting companies over which you have rented hosting has activated this option. (An example is Fantastico).
To manually install Wordpress on the server, you must be connected to the server via an FTP client. There are a lot of different FTP clients and some of them are FileZilla and WinSCP. WinSCP has a useful option that you can edit any file located on the server and modify the code directly to the files stored on the server. So the procedure is to connect to the server with the supplied username, password and port. Under host name you enter yourdomain.com.
It's time to take off (unzipp) Wordpress website which you previously downloaded to your hard drive.
Once you are connected via FTP client, you need to upload the unzipped wordpress files from wordpress main folder to a directory of your website (usually public_html).
After all files have been uploaded, you need to access your domain through your web browser. The first window will appear. Here just choose the language of the wordpress.
After this step, the window will appear with the items you need to know before starting the installation. Those items are; Database name, Database username, Database password, Database host and Database prefix.
In a case that you dont know what this is, follow the next steps.
First login to your cPanel and go to MySQL databases. Create new database, and remember it, it will be your Database name. Add new user, it will be your Database user name, the password you enter here will be your Database password. Add the user you created to the database you created for this wordpress installation, and grant all privilegies for this user. And thats it. Return to the wordpress installation and click on the button Let`s go!
In the next window just fill in the asked information. So enter your Database name, Database username and Database password. For the Database host, enter localhost, and for the Database prefix enter wp_.
Now the installation of wordpress starts. You need to enter the title you want for your website. User name and password that you enter here will be used to enter the admin panel later when you install your wordpress. Enter your emal, so the wordpress can contact you when someone leave comment, or if you forget password. Click to allow search engines to index your website.
Congratullations, you have installed wordpress!
Now log in, choose your theme, create your posts, create pages and share it with your friends or with everyone!
