Reaching this article means that you have chosen the path of blogging for your passive income, and you have also understood that to create a blog you will have to work with a Content Management System (CMS) like WordPress or Blogger, but now this question must be arising in your mind that how to install WordPress?
If you are going to create a blog on WordPress, then you will need to install WordPress on your server. Keeping this requirement of yours in mind, we have created this article for you in which you will be told the step by step process of installing WordPress on your hosting server.
But before we learn to install WordPress, we need to have some basic information about WordPress. That is, just like when you install any app in your mobile, before that you collect some information about that app, similarly here you are being given some information about WordPress.
What is WordPress?
WordPress is a Content Management System, which works to build a website and show blog articles on the Internet on-demand. In simple words, WordPress does nothing but manage your content. You can understand the popularity of WordPress from the fact that 40% of the websites built in the world are built only on WordPress.
Now you might be thinking that why should we use WordPress just to manage our content? The basic reason for this is that handling our content manually today is a very complex task.
Do you know why? Because if you do not use WordPress then you will need to manually upload your Html file to your hosting server. This means that you will have to create your content through coding, and all three types of SEO (on page, off page & technical SEO) will have to be done through coding only. You cannot use any type of plugin or theme because here you are manually uploading your content to your server.
Not only this, when you upload the Html file to any location of your server, and in future due to some reason changes come in that file, then you will have to change the location of that file. You may also need to do this with every Html file.
Due to change in file location, your HTML file may show an error when opened. To avoid this, we use CMS like WordPress. So we know what WordPress is and why it is used. Now let’s talk about our main topic of today, WordPress Kaise Install Kare.
How to install WordPress
So we have got some important information about WordPress, and now we will try to know how to install WordPress.
However, let me tell you that if you want to display something on your website, for example, it may be an HTML file or a JPEG file, you need to upload it to your server. Once an item is uploaded to your server database, it starts appearing on your website.
This also means that if you want to install any CMS, you will have to upload it to your server. By the way, do not be surprised by hearing the name of the server !! Because I am talking about your hosting server only.
So there are basically 4 ways to install WordPress on your server –
- Through a Managed WordPress Hosting Service.
- By installing it on your computer storage.
- By installing WordPress with one-click from the hosting panel.
- By installing via FTP on a web server.
Now let us try to understand these four options briefly one by one and understand how to install WordPress.
1. Install WordPress through Managed WordPress Hosting Service?
This is the method we recommend for normal people who don’t have much coding and software knowledge but still want to get into blogging. This is the easiest way to start using WordPress in just a few minutes. And it’s so easy that as soon as you buy a plan, your new website will be ready to share with the world!!
Here it does not matter what type of website you are creating. In this method, all types of websites can be created only by purchasing a hosting plan.
For this method you do not have to do anything, you will just need to buy a free web hosting plan from a hosting provider. Note that this will not be a normal hosting plan, it is specifically called WordPress hosting plan.
Although that company may host hundreds of other small websites on your hosting server. But this will not make any difference to you because in the initial days of creating a blog or website, your main objective is not to bring traffic or generate income. Your main objective is only to make your website a great knowledge hub for the user.
So now we will look at those plans which on just buying, you will get an excellent WordPress installed hosting.
1. Hostinger Managed WordPress Hosting Plan
Hostinger is a great web hosting provider, here you will get WordPress Managed Plan at a cost of just ₹ 99 per month. This will be a great and affordable investment for any beginner.
2. Hostgator Managed WordPress Hosting Plan
Although Hostgator may seem a bit expensive, its service quality is unmatched. Here you will have to pay ₹ 299 per month.

Similarly, Managed WordPress Hosting Plan can also be chosen from A2hosting, Bluehost etc.
If your website gets heavy traffic and your server goes down, you can use Digitalocean Cloud Hosting with 100$ Free Credit for 2 Months.
It is very good, I have also installed my website on Digitalocean , the speed is very good. You should also use it.
2. By installing WordPress in your computer storage
Often you must have heard people saying that WordPress cannot be run by installing it in the local storage of a computer. But in reality this is a myth. People are not able to do this in their own PC, so they just promote it. Although it has been said by the officials of WordPress that WordPress cannot be run by installing it in the local PC storage. By the way, there is a way to install WordPress on your computer !!!!!
It is true that WordPress is not designed to run on a personal computer. Instead, it needs to be installed on a web server to run.
But, Local Disk can also do this job. For example, it creates a private web server on your own computer, and then installs WordPress for you. In fact, you can install several versions of WordPress, so you can create as many WordPress sites as you want, right from your computer.
Maybe that’s why this Local Method has become a great option for any WordPress Developer who creates websites for their clients.
Local makes it easy to install WordPress on your Mac, Windows, or Linux PC and develop your entire WordPress site locally. Then, when you’re ready to take it live, you can transfer your local site to a great service provider like Hostinger or Hostgator for hosting with just one click within the app.
3. Install WordPress with one-click from your hosting panel
This is the most popular way to install WordPress. It is popular because you do not need to do anything special in this, you have to choose a hosting provider where WordPress gets installed directly on your server with just 1 click.
With just one click, you get rid of any kind of hassle and this is the reason why we ask you to go with this option considering your convenience.
So what will you need to do for this option? Below you are being told step by step –
- First of all, choose a hosting provider that provides the facility of One-Click WordPress Installation. However, at present, almost all hosting providers provide the facility of One Click WordPress Installation.
- Login to your Hosting Panel. (In some places it is called Hpanel or Hosting Panel and in some places it is called cPanel or Control Panel, so don’t get confused.)
- Now you have to find Auto Installer or Install WordPress on your Dashboard. As soon as you find it, you have to click on it.
- As soon as you click, you will get options to install some CMS. You just have to click on WordPress and your hosting server will do the rest of the work automatically.
So this way you see that this is a great way to install WordPress in just 1 click, without any hassle.
Let us now move towards our last step, but before that I want to caution you here that you should go for the fourth option only if you do not have all the above three options. The main reason for this is that in the fourth method we have to make some changes on the server through our hosting panel, such as database creation, entry in PHP and manually uploading and installing WordPress on our server. In this activity sometimes even minor issues become big. So we are sharing this with you as the last option.
4. Install WordPress on your hosting server via FTP
Installing WordPress via FTP is a very easy process.
So first of all let us know what does FTP mean?
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a type of rule that monitors the compliance of protocol while transferring files over the Internet between two systems.
In simple terms, FTP is used to send files between commercial computers, and big websites use FTP to upload and download files from their servers.
This means here we will use FTP to install our WordPress on the server.
Now let’s understand in just steps how to install WordPress on your computer via FTP –
- First install FTP Software. To install it, you should download and install it from Filezilla.com or Smartftp.com.
- Download the latest version of WordPress for free from WordPress.org. After downloading it, unzip it (via WinRAR etc.).
- Now login to your FTP software, because now you need to install WordPress file on your web hosting directory, so here you will need FTP.
- If you want your website to be accessed through your primary domain (www.yourdomain.com), then you should place all files in the Public_html directory.
- Now you need to create MySQl Database. For this you should go to Mysql Database of your Hosting Dashboard.
- Here you will need to fill the Username and Database Name. Finally click on Create. (The main purpose of creating a database is to set up all the content uploaded to your site in a sequential manner.)
Now since you have uploaded WordPress on your server and also created the database, now you just have to install WordPress in this database. For this, you have to search the name of your site on your browser.
Because you have already uploaded WordPress in your site’s database, you will see the option to install WordPress as soon as you search the name of the site. (Search the site in this way – https://yourdomain.com/admin)
Now in this field you will need to fill the details of your database. And then click on Submit.
- In the next step you will be asked for WordPress Signup Details, which means now you have to set your WordPress Username and Password. As soon as you set it and click on Installing WordPress, your WordPress starts installing on the server.
Good luck, you have installed WordPress on your server. Now you can create a blog whenever you want by logging in from the Admin bar of your site.
