How to start blogging at HostMonster with WordPress
Hosting your own blog at HostMonster is easy and I’ll show you how right now. As most users are pretty new with the use of Simple Scripts, I’ll show the installation of WordPress blog via Simple Scripts.
Getting Started with Simple Scripts
First, get into Simple Scripts control panel and click on the WordPress installation button.
This will then lead you to a brief intro page on WordPress as well as available version in Simple Scripts. At the time of writing WordPress 2.5.1 is the latest version released. Click on “Install Now”.
Setting up your blog details
Moving on, you’ll come to a page where you need to type in some basic info for your to-be-installed blog. Basically what you need is to decide the folder in you wish to install your WordPress (leave blank if you wish to have your blog on your main page) and input your desired blog name.
Finishing your blog installation on HostMonster
Click “Complete” to finish the installation. The actual WordPress installation will be started and completed within seconds. Installation and login details will be sent to your email automatically.
And there, you’re done and ready to start posting on your blog. In case you need to review your installtion, details can be found at Simple Scipts control panel.
It’s just that easy!
As said, the overall installation process is really simple and you should really try hosting your blog on your own domain and web hosting. In case you’re running your blog on Blogspot or TypePad - you should really stop looking like an amatuer and have your own web host now.
Come’on, how much can you lose? A web hosting account at HostMonster only takes less than $7/mo and you’ll get unlimited disk storage space and bandwidth!
