Continuing from where I left off telling you about WordPress as a blog platform, I’ve put together a short tutorial on how to install WordPress onto your own server using Fantastico in Cpanel.
First off, you’ll need to a) buy a domain name and b) purchase hosting on a webserver, may I suggest:
(Yes I admit I’ll make money if you decide to buy from Hostgator, but I use them myself and find it to be good value for money.)
For the rest of the tutorial, I find that putting the information in a video format or a slideshow (powerpoint) format gets the message across the easiest as you can see exactly what to click.
You’ll need flash installed on your computer to view the presentation or the youtube video, so for you reading this at work, you’ll have to go home and check out the tutorial… sorry.
Feel free to share the video/presentation with friends and embed it on you’re website/blog as well if you want.
Hope you find these useful:

It’s so easy to install WordPress with CPanel…
Hi Irene!
Yup, just a couple of steps and you’re done… but some people are quite anxious when you mention the words ‘web server’ ‘cpanel’ etc… they think you have to be very very techy to run a website or even start one!
I also plan to put up an Online Business because the internet is also a good place to sell products. The number of Internet users and potential buyers from the internet is also growing.
i am pretty sure that Online Business would be the next trend. With growing number of internet users, setting up an Online Business could give us more extra income.
Is this your own articles? Or copied from somewhere else?
My own articles… I write them as I do the steps, since I’m a web designer, I have to do these things quite often…
It is also easy to backup and transfer all your websites from one server to another server if you have cPanel installed`~`
