Can someone please give me a step by step list on how to set up a wordpress account on a yahoo server? (I'm buying a starter web hosting plan from yahoo) I want to be able to run ads on the wordpress blog, so thats why I'm setting it up on another server. Any help?
Just upload all of the files to your yahoo server after creating database + editing the config.php file. Then go to your site, and it will tell you that you need to install it. You can then follow the prompt. I can offer my services if needed. Nick
The starter plan includes an automated install for WP: http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/webhosting/compare.php It should be one or two clicks from your control panel.
No, I know how to do it now, but my new question is can I add multiple domains to my yahoo server package? How are you guys set up with your sites? Do you use your own server, or what?
It does not look like you can. If you have not purchased it yet, you can get unlimited domains at Godaddy for less $ per month. I may have a coupon code to get that plan down to about $6.50 per month.
yahoo small business has word press facility! you even have the movable types! for wordpress, just log on to the control pannel, there you have the blog control pannel! from there just install wordpress, if you want to install in the root then do so, that will help you to get the blog on your homepage! it is all very easy! cheers!
did you buy Yahoo Hosting ??? because I heard it Sucks anyways I think all the hosting providers has a Option called Fantastico select that option then on the new screen select Wordpress and Click on New installation Thats it
