Install WordPress On Your Hosting Package
As we discussed above, you have just bought a shiny new website, packed full of useful content and ready to go. You have spent a long time planning and researching the content that you have put into it, so now it’s time to show the world what you’ve made. But in order to do that, you need to get it online somehow. And to do that, you need to integrate WordPress with your website hosting package. Luckily, this is a very easy process and we are going to walk you through it. In this article, we will cover everything you need to know about integrating a new website into WordPress. So sit back, relax and get ready to learn.
Pick A Subdomain
When you first install WordPress onto your hosting package, you will be presented with a list of available subdomains. These are the domains that your server will be answering to. When someone enters a domain into their browser (such as www.yoursite.com), the browser will connect to your server and ask for the content. In this example, ‘www’ is the subdomain, so when someone enters ‘www’ into their browser, they will be presented with your website. This is also known as the ‘root domain’ or ‘main domain’. Typically, your server’s domain name will be different to your website’s domain name, but generally, they will follow the same pattern. For example, on a Bluehost account, the default domain is ‘example.com’, but if you purchase a.com domain through them, it will register to them as ‘yoursite.com’.
Choose A Username
When you first install WordPress onto your hosting package, you will be presented with a login screen. On this screen, you will see the option to create a new account or to use an existing one. Select the ‘Create new account’ option and you will be presented with a form where you can enter a username and a password. The default username for new installs is ‘admin’, but this can be changed on the ‘Users’ screen in Settings. For example, if you choose ‘marvel’ as your username, whenever you log in, you will be presented with a ‘Marvel Studios’ landing page. So, it is very important to choose a username that is easy to remember and that will not be used by anyone else on your server. This is especially important if you are using the same username and password combination for multiple sites. Make sure to keep your chosen username a secret and try to avoid using any copyrighted or trademarked names. For example, if you use the word ‘super’ in your username, you may have legal issues with Marvel Studios since their trademark is not being used in a positive light.
Set A Password
In order to log in to WordPress, you will need to set a password for the ‘admin’ account. When you first install WordPress, you will be prompted to create a password for the admin account. This password should be a unique, strong password and it should not be reused for any other purpose. Make sure to keep this password a secret. You will not be able to login to WordPress without a password.
