    I just bought a Domain Name and Hosting at host gator. I am absolutely clueless on what to do next. I downloaded wordpress and want to upload that. I set my neamservers at godaddy. I edited my wp-config file.....but now I tried to FTP the wordpress folder but it didn't work. What do I need to do. Mysql? Is there a very basic tutorial? IM DROWNING HERE.

    To install wordpress, just follow the below steps:

    - Downlaod Wordpress installation files.
    - Create blank MySQL database from your cPanel.
    - Create Database username and assign permissions to the MySQL database.
    - Edit your wp-config.php file and change Database name, database user and password.
    - Upload your installation files via FTP and browse the URL (http://domain.com/wordpress).

    If you receive any error while uploading you can contact your host.
