If you don't know how to install wordpress then do let me know... I will do if for you free of cost...
1. Purchase a webhosting plan 2. Update your nameservers 3. Upload WP in your site or use fantastico/softaculous to install it 4. Create a database and run the installation script (skip if you used auto-installers)

The simplest way is to use Fantastico (automatic installer application) Or, you can download wordpress to your pc first and then upload it to your hosting afterwards follow the installation instructions given in the read me file and you will be fine
Thank you guys, successfully installed the wordpress for my new domain Now looking out for someone who can built me a good site. I tried lot of themes but did not liked anyone.
one advice for you, always and i say always make sure you update wordpress when a new version comes out or else your files will be hacked and your site will be attacked.
So then, what is the latest version, right now. I guess I have installed the latest version, Wordpress 3.1, is it the latest ?
Yes. 3.1 is the latest. fortunately you will get a message when you log in to the admin side of your wordpress blog letting you know if there is an update. all you need to do is click the "update now" button and it is done automatically. should take only a minute to do so.
