How to Add WordPress to HostGator

1. Open a Web browser and proceed to your administrator page on HostGator. HostGator calls this page the 'cPanel;' find the direct link your email inbox after starting an account.
2. Scroll down to the 'Software/Services' heading and click 'QuickInstall.'

3. Click 'WordPress' on the left side of the page.
4. Click 'Continue.'
5. Click the drop-down menu, and select the domain name where you will host the WordPress blog. If you only have one domain registered with HostGator, skip this step.
6. Click the field next to the drop-down menu, and type the subdirectory where HostGator should install WordPress. To avoid installing WordPress in a subdirectory and have the blog appear when people type the main URL of your website, skip this step.
7. Enter your email address in the 'Admin Email' field.
8. Type the name of your website in the 'Blog Title' field.
9. Enter your name in the 'First Name' and 'Last Name' fields. You can change this information after installing WordPress using the 'Settings' section of the WordPress Dashboard.
10. Click the 'Install Now!' button to install WordPress on your HostGator Web server using the settings you have selected.
11. Check the email address that you provided in Step 7 for a message containing instructions for logging in to your WordPress blog for the first time.
