Most if us agree that WordPress is the best blogging platform. But to enjoy complete power of wordpress, you should host it on your own. For hosting a WordPress blog you need a good hosting service with PHP and SQL database enabled. I prefer 000WebHost. So let’s get started with a 5 minute installation
- Register with 000WebHost
- Download the latest stable version of WordPress. I prefer you to use the link given here because I had made some changes (deleted unnecessary files).
- Now create a SQL database and an user and choose your password from your hosting server.
- Extract the contents to a folder and open wp-config-sample.php in the notepad.
- Edit the marked places(4 areas) with your database details.
- Now save the file as wp-config.php. Dont over write wp-config-sample.php.
- Now upload the downloaded .zip file to the server and unzip it.
- Now upload the wp-config.php file.
- Now, run the file “http://your-site-address/wp-admin/install.php”
- Now you will receive your admin username and password.
Now the whole process is finished. So start blogging and install your favorite themes and plugins… 🙂
If you have any queries use the comment form. Enjoy… 🙂

Hi Arjun!
I would praise your efforts for making changes in WP distribution. But, I am clueless why are your suggesting that host.
There are several other POPLULAR hosts ….. like freehostia ….etc + the URL you supplied contains 106764.html .. what is that :?)
Can you tell me how to login to dashboard to submit posts etc after installing wordpress ?
@ ArpitNext
You can refer your personal hosts..
but i prefer this because it is easy to set up and also the URL is short as well..
106764.html—-> This is my ref ID
My Avast Antivirus blocks the ip_confirm.exe download page while registering at 000webhost.Should I ignore the warning? or is the page really infected?
the exe file that they require to download has a trojan detected by AVG
Same here 🙁
Thats y i would like to advice to opt for some other standard (& wellknown) hosts.
Tell me if I’ve to upload zip file or extracted contents, and plz tell me in detail..
I wanted to do this from months..
