Install wordpress and start making a your own professional websites.

when you log into your name cheap dashboard this is how your domain names will appear we are going to Ford Tamika Armstrong com2 hostgator all you need to do is click on manage and scroll down look at the services that you do have and you’re gonna go to Namecheap basic dns click on the green arrow and choose custom dns when you receive your email from Hostgator that you have purchased your hosting service it will have your custom dns in the
email so you’re gonna copy and paste both of the custom dns and the custom dns is also located below the video so you’ll have it just below this video there you go and you click the green arrow which is safe and that is all you need to do to allow or to afford your domain names to Hostgator then you’re gonna log into that control panel that you have for Hostgator not the front end where you pay your bill but the back end where you manage your
domains so if you are creating a sub domain you click on sub domain if you are creating a full domain you click on add-on domain which is a full domain and that is what Tameka Armstrong com is so click on add-on domain and create a new domains gonna be Tameka Armstrong at I’m sorry Tameka Armstrong com there is no sub domain and we’re gonna make the root directory the same as the domain name which is Tameka Armstrong comm and then you click Add
domain okay so now we’re going to go back to the full control panel so you scroll up and you click on Hostgator control panel and just you know Hostgator updated this control panel mid-2017 so if you see previous videos of Hostgator not updated this is the new control panel for hosting mid-2017 then you’re gonna click on build a new WordPress site so click build a new WordPress site the domain you choose from your list of domains Tameka Armstrong
click Next you’re gonna give your blog a title we’re just gonna put ta I’m gonna put admin we’re going to put Tamika Armstrong and then we’re going to add my email and I did purchase that name cheap email so that’ll be good to show you the name cheap email and the name cheap we’ll send you a link to their private email service so that you can log into the private email so we’re setting up our password and email for the WordPress website then you
click install and WordPress does not always stall install automatically sometimes it does take a moment so if it doesn’t happen right away it’s okay you did everything right so once WordPress is installed and your Hostgator hosting services you want to copy and paste your password because the first thing you’re gonna do is change your password and when you go to your website like I said if your website has not installed automatically or instantly
sometimes it does take a while but if you follow the steps that I showed you you did do everything correctly so nothing has happened right now it is still installing and what I’m gonna do with that password I copied and paste always copy and paste your password so we’re just gonna put it right there in your Hostgator hosting service all you do is type in your domain name and it’ll either show you a basic WordPress page which is this or it will
say under construction it will say under the two so you just go to your domain name and see if everything is ready so now it’s ready when you want to log into the backend of your website to install website to make changes to your website you put in your domain name and then you add WP dash admin so your domain name ford slash wp-admin you type in your password which is admin and I did copy and paste that password previously as I mentioned before
always save your password so that when you log in you’re not searching for it just have to wait for WordPress to be installed in Hostgator I’m gonna pause it for a moment and we’ll come back so WordPress is installed soon as we log into the dashboard the first thing we’re going to do click the X to log out of that question if you use Google Chrome go to admin edit my profile scroll down and one of the first things you’re going to do is generate
password and you’re going to add your own password that you will remember so that you can log in at a later date so let me change my password and then we’ll move on to a couple more options I want to show you password is updated if you have purchased a WordPress theme you want to go to appearance themes you want to add theme so press the Add button and then upload theme which means you purchased a theme you’re going to upload it to your website
or if you purchase a theme from one of these companies below you can install directly to WordPress so either you install directly or you upload from your computer if you have been given a duplicate of a website meaning someone gave you an exact duplicate of their website you go to add new and there is a plug-in that will import a duplicate website to your website and that plug-in is WP I was hoping it just there it is all in one migration so all
in one a WP migration duplicates full websites so if someone gives you a duplicate of their website for you to customize you go to plugins new type in all-in-one WP migration press activate if you have that file that was given to you of the duplicated website on your computer all you want to do is go to this plugin and press import import from file or you can import from Google Drive if Google Drive is connected but generally import from file
works best and so that is how you for do domain to Hostgator install WordPress to your Hostgator hosting services and you can do this as many times as possible without paying per website per month you can have as many WordPress websites as you like to have
