Okay, I have hosting through HostGator for my arcade 8hourbreak.com and I am in the process of adding on different domains. I'm going to add my newest one very soon, and I want to know how to install wordpress to it. Anybody have hostgator and did this? JER
Do you want to add Wordpress to a completely new domain or a subdomain? A subdomain would be something like blog.8hourbreak.com whereas a domain is www.myblog.com Once you clarify this, I'll be able to help!
It will be www.publicrecordsguy.com but the hosting and so forth somehow is tied into 8hourbreak.com I already have a domain at www.arcade4you.com that has some header but the ftp stuff for it is weird. Does that make sense?
Is pretty simple actually. I have some gator sites too! There are two ways to do this once you have added your Add On Domain name to the Hostgator account in cPanel. 1) One Way! Download WordPress and upload it via ftp to the new domain folder, create an appropriate database, enter in the config file your database information and run the installer.. 2) Second way! In your cPanel control and after the domain is added, go to Fantastico and choose Wordpress installation, choose the domain name to install the wordpress on and press continue install, fill out all the username, email and password details and press install.. All done welcome to the world of blogging on wordpress! Boulder
