I bought a domain and got hosting at host gator; I want to upload wordpress. I downloaded wordpress, set up the main server at go daddy, I edited my wp-config. file. Do I upload? Is there a tutorial to help me? I've read some of the C-panel stuff and I'm still confused. Help!
here are the steps to upload, find where you are in these 1. Book Domain 2. Buy hosting 3. Set up the name servers given by your hosting people in your domain control panel 4. Go to hosting cpanel and create a database, database user and link database with user (of if you has the fantastico you can install wordpress directly) 5. Open FTP and upload your files 6. Go Through the installation steps simple PM me if you need more help
With hostgator you also get Cpanel and fantastico! You just have to fill in some simple details and you're ready to go! Here are 2 tutorials on how to do this! http://www.ohmystinkinheck.com/setting-up-wordpress-with-cpanel-and-fantastico/ http://www.squidoo.com/install-wordpress-cpanel Good luck...
