Add-On Domain, Intalling WordPress W/Fantastico (YorkPaQuickSale #4)

by Ryan Hartman on February 23, 2010

  

This week’s exciting because we’ll now be able to fire up our site as a destination on the world wide internets.

Once you’ve got your nameservers all pointed to your hosting account, it’s time to login to your Hosting Control Panel, in this case “CPANEL,” and take the next steps.

ADD YOUR DOMAIN TO YOUR HOSTING ACCOUNT

Scroll down your CPanel and find the “Add On Domains” button.

Next, configure the addon.

Then go back and find “Fantastico” in your Cpanel. Click the happy face and you’re only a few steps away from having a fresh WordPress install working on your domain.

Now, click on “WordPress” and “Install”

Then fill in the blanks like so…

Then click finish!

And now, if you visit your site, it should look something like this:

What’s Next?

Next week, we’ll fire up our WordPress theme (skin) and start to make it look pretty… :)
