If you are a GoDaddy user and you’d like to setup a blogging platform you will first need to make sure you have a Hosting account in addition to a domain name. Do you have this? Ok, good. Now I’ll tell you that you will definitely want to use WordPress because of too many reasons to list here… just trust me. Now let’s install WordPress!
To Install WordPress on your GoDaddy Hosting Account perform the following:
Note: You must have the proper credentials to log int your GoDaddy account. Please be sure to have these credentials on hand for this tutorial. Also, these directions assume that the domain name is already setup on the hosting account and waiting for a WordPress install.
1. Log into GoDaddy by directing your browser to http://www.godaddy.com
2. Click on the “Hosting” link in the top navigation and click Hosting again in the side navigation once that page loads. At this point you may need to type in your username and password again as GoDaddy sees this as added security. If you are lost at this point, try clicking this link to the GoDaddy Hosting Login and you should be sent to the appropriate log in page.
3. Once you have made it into the GoDaddy Hosting Account page you will see a link under the Control Panel column that should say “Manage Account“… click this link.
Note: This will open the “Go Daddy Hosting Control Center” in a pop-up window.
4. In the Control Panel you will see a large button that says “Your Applications” that you should click.
5. In the Applications page you will need to select Blogs>Wordpress from the left accordion style menu.
6. Once the WordPress install page loads click “Install Now”
7. Install on the appropriate domain Warning: Do not install WordPress on a domain that it is already installed on and double-check that you are installing it in the appropriate domain because we don’t want to accidentally overwrite a live site right?!
8. Provide a username and password for both wordpress and the database (you can make them have the same password)
9. Provide a description and leave the install directory blank unless for some reason you are asked to install it in a subdirectory.
10. Click finish installation in the Go Daddy Hosting WordPress Install Wizard and confirm the WordPress installation was successful by visiting the website you have installed.
Hint: Refreshing the Go Daddy Application Install Status Page will provide updates on your WordPress installation.
That’s it! You should be good to go… happy WordPress blogging! Let me know if you had any problems with these Go Daddy Hosting WordPress Installation instructions.
