Before installing any CMS, your blog will look like this. This means your domain is
pointing but is not ready to work on
2. To Install wordpress you have to login into your cpanel from the url given to you by
your hosting provider.
Cpanel looks like the figure given above.
Cpanel is Unix(( linux) based control pane. It provides graphical interface and tools
so that you can build your blog easily.
You will install your wordpress in this cpanel. And once set up, cpanel can not be
removed.
3. In Cpanel you will see many options like mail, files, domains, app installer etc.
You will go to App installer which is provided in every hosting service for the user ease.
In this App installer, you will see many CMS like wordpress, zoomla, drupal like in pic
As we are talking about wordpress, you will click on Wordpress option.

In this your domain name will already appear as this already added in your hosting. If
you have multiple domain, then you will have to choose the right one.

any folder.

It when you have to check/remove database of your blog. Ex: domain name: blogacious

Description. Ex: Site Name: Blog
