    • Create a MySQL database for your WordPress installation. Youand#39;ll need to provide a database name, username, and password. Keep this information handy.

  3. Download WordPress:

  4. Upload WordPress Files:

    • If your hosting provider has a file manager in the control panel, you can use it to upload the WordPress files to your websiteand#39;s root directory. Alternatively, you can use an FTP client like FileZilla.
