    Hostgator should have a help section and maybe even videos. Check their site, I'm sure it's all in there :-)

    Host Gator has a One Click Installation module were you can automatically install a wordpress site with a simply click of a mouse. There support would even help you with it.

    Very Simple... Then find a theme online, and you can upload it directly inside your wordpress admin panel.. Fairly Easy!

    Perhaps you should eventually youtube some videos/tutorials on using a FTP Client.

    Cheers,

    Hey,

    Using you Control panel - Select the platform -

    Softaculous under services. You can create a Word press site and then get going. There are plenty of videos on you tube which will give you tutorials how to go about word press sites and creation if your knowledge is limited.

    Now for FTP - FILEZILLA You can use this for uploading to your server. Along side this you can use NVU to create HTML pages also.

    Also remember your hosting company will offer free live chat for support so use them when you need to. They generally are very good. However the INTERNET has everything at your disposal in regards to how to videos

    Hope this was insightful

    To set up a Wordpress blog with Hostgator is very simple. ON your Cpanel you need to look for Fastastico Deluxe and click on there. It is really very simple. You don't need FTP for a Wordpress blog.

    It takes time to learn these procedures. I learned watching YouTube videos.

    Same advice as above, basically. Here's what I did.

    In HostGator Cpanel, find Fantastico, it's a 1-click install of WordPress. Download FileZilla (FTP - File Transfer Protocol) it's FREE!!! - Watch videos, search 'G' on How-To-Use-Filezilla to upload your WordPress theme, and content files.

    If you are new to all this, be patient, read instructions, and watch videos, it's really not that hard.

    PS - this thread should've been posted in web design help, just sayin'

    All the Best,

    Just install it using Fantastico in your cpanel. However, you're only limited by what you refuse to learn. There's a million tutorials on ftp. Learn how to ftp. You won't regret it.

    For FTP wise, I would recommend like the above, FileZilla.

    It's free, easy to use and user friendly!

    Just install it in your local machine (your pc), login your online hosting ftp credentials, and start transferring your files offline to your server online =)

    Make sure you know which directory to transfer to! Usually is "WWW" or "public_html" dir by default.

      Hostgator has a massive amount of training on it's site - use it.

      FTP was a problem for me, too, when I started online. It seems a big deal - and it isn't. I found coreftp lite (free) to be easier to use than filezilla but that's just me.

      Fantastico in HG does the ftp work for you. For me, ftp is still "magic" but I learned how to do the magic tricks. You will learn it - don't let little stuff like this frighten you.

    While I used to own a master sale righted copy of this Warriors training site, the following could very well be the best $17 investment you'll ever make!!!

    I no longer have any affiliation to the following link, but look closely at what these videos include, and I believe; your problems will be solved... for a meager $17 investment.

    I believe time is money, so don't waste time. If you try to learn each step of getting a true affiliate marketing platform set-up by trolling forums, chances are it'll take you a long, long, time!!!

    Here's the link (*No affiliation) - http://www.meknowwordpress.com/

    It has EVERYTHING You'll Need to Learn the basics! Be sure to ignore the cartoonish display, it is a quality training with step-by-step instructions to several aspects of getting set up. Scroll down to the MODULES INCLUDED... determine for yourself.

    Hope It Helps.

    All the Best,

    I agree with you tube and learning the basics ... but please do not use those one click installs ... your site WILL get hacked eventually

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ssqm3ZGMD0

    you can install it securely in 5 minutes and prevent most of the kinds of attacks that happen to wordpress sites

    also before you install it, make sure your computer is virus free and safe from a "keylogger" type of infections

      Are you referring to the 1-click installs in CPanel, such as Fantastico???

      If so, please elaborate further, as I have had well over 100 WordPress installs using Fantastico and NEVER once had any issues.

      I will agree, learning ftp is an essential step, but for the initial install of the WordPress platform, I haven't had any problems.

        yes, that is what I was referring to and you are lucky if you NEVER once had any issues using them ... yet.

        1-click installs in CPanel, such as Fantastico is never a good idea
