WordPress is free, open-source blogging software that you use with your own domain name.
WordPress is the most popular blogging platform – it powers more than 50 million blogs. All of my projects are run on it.

This is my step-by-step guide on how to install WordPress and start your own blog. It’s easy to follow and doesn’t require much technology know-how.

Install WordPress – it takes 5 minutes

WordPress must be installed on a web hosting server. For the simplest possible install, I recommend using Bluehost.com or rumahweb.com  as you simply click on a button to install WordPress and get domain and hosting at a very cheap price. Also WordPress recommends Bluehost for blog hosting. Bluehost offers one-click WordPress installation, unlimited hosting space, free domain name and a 99% uptime guarantee.

It literally takes 5 minutes to have your blog up and running, no tech knowledge needed.
Tools :

• Downloads Notepad++ for editing text easier.
• Downloads FileZilla for transfers the file from our computer to Hosting.
• Downloads Wordpress Source Code.

Wordpress is Machine or System

WebHosting is Hardisk for saving file - online

Domain is Your Name.

Give your baby a name, Give your baby a car, Then give your baby a garages. Simple !? Capiche ? 

This is the easy and recommended way of installing WordPress and having a blog ready in 5 minutes. If you prefer to install your blog manually, please follow the process below :

The manual WordPress install :

Get domain name and hosting

• First step to is to get a domain name and hosting.
• Bluehost offers free domain as long as you buy hosting.

Setup your hosting account

• Login to your hosting account
• Click on Hosting and chose My Hosting Account
• Find your hosting plan and click on Setup Account
• Select the checkbox and click Next
• Chose username and password and click Next
• Chose Select a domain from this account, find the domain and click Submit 

Get your FTP Account Information

• You will get an email titled “Hosting Account Setup”
• Find your “FTP Account Information” in the email

Hosting/FTP User Name: your username
Web Site URL: your domain URL
FTP Site URL: your FTP URL
Your Web Site Visitor Statistics: Your stats URL

Create MySQL database

• Click on Hosting and chose My Hosting Account
• Find your domain name and click on Manage Account
• Click on Databases, chose MySQL and click Create Database
• Write description, chose username and password
• Click OK and wait until your MySQL is setup 

Click on the pencil to “Edit/view details” and save the following :

MySQL Database Information Status:
Setup Host Name: your host name
Database Name: database name you have chosen
Database Version: 4.1
Description: description you have chosen
User Name: username you have chosen

Installing WordPress files

• To install WordPress, go to WordPress.org and download the latest version
• WordPress 3.3 comes in a .zip file so unzip it
• In WordPress folder rename wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php 

Open wp-config.php in text editor and find this part :

// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database */
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘putyourdbnamehere‘);
/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘usernamehere‘);
/** MySQL database password */
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘yourpasswordhere‘);
/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost‘);

Take MySQL Database info and insert in places marked in bold :

• Your MySQL Database Name should replace putyourdbnamehere 
• Your MySQL User Name should replace usernamehere 
• Your MySQL password should replace yourpasswordhere 
• Your MySQL Host Name should replace localhost 

Now find following in your wp-config.php :

define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’); define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’); define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’); define(‘NONCE_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’);

Visit !!! SECRET KEY here !!!, copy the details, insert them and save wp-config.php

And find the below that, still in wp-config.php :

$table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

Rename it to something like $table_prefix = 'jmin8ctk8ctp92d_';

It's up to you, you can rename it whatever you want, just don't to simple, this little thing is importants for your 'anti-hacker' in the future time.
* Remember, if you haven’t yet installed WordPress, you’re done now and can upload your files and install WordPress
* If you already installed previous WP, then you should read Here first.

Last things, this is optional, look at this under that last code :

define('WP_DEBUG', false);

If you want to turn it on, make it like this :

define('SCRIPT_DEBUG', true);

Login to your web hosting

• Open FTP client and log in to your hosting using the FTP account logins 
• Place all the files from your WordPress folder onto your server 
• Go to http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin/install.php 

This is what you will see when you enter the address :

• Fill in your Blog Title and Your E-mail 
• Click on Install WordPress 
• Next screen says Success! and has your Username and Password. 
• Click on Log In to log in to WordPress dashboard. 

Your blog is now setup and is live online. You will get an email titled New Blogwhich includes your URL and your username / password. That’s it, it’s that simple to install WordPress. Get your blog started now and enjoy !
