Many people often wonder what software they should use to run a blog or website. There are literally dozens of different applications and platforms to choose from. However, there is one platform that sticks out from the rest. Here are five reasons why WordPress is the best choice for your next website or blog:

It Is Open Source

Of all the reasons to use WordPress, one of the biggest reasons is because WordPress is Open Source. If you are unfamiliar with the term, it basically means that WordPress is free to use, regardless if you are running a personal website or a commercial one.

Why pay hundreds of dollars for software when you can use this one for free. Even if you plan on running a commercial website or blog, you can still use it for no cost to you.

Updates Are Free And Easy To Install

One of the great things about WordPress being Open Source is the fact that updates are often available. Whenever a bug is reported and fixes, an update is created to address the problem. This ensures you that your blog or website is secure and free of any bugs or technical issues.

Instead of having to spend a bunch of time applyting the updates, you can simply click the upgrade now button from Within the WordPress administration panel. It then runs the automatic update and only takes a few minutes to complete.

It Uses Themes And Plugins

If easy updates weren’t enough, WordPress also uses themes and plugins. Themes allow you to install a new look for your blog or website. All you have to do is choose a new theme from the directory and WordPress will automatically install it for you. Best of all, you can also customize themes to suit your needs.

Plugins are another great feature of WordPress. They allow you to add advanced functionality to the platform, which are not included by default.

WordPress is a personal publishing platform that focuses on aesthetics, web standards, and ease of use. Wordpress can be used freely Effort can be obtained free of charge. WordPress is very useful for blogging.

Note: If you use a server control panel with cPanel / WHM, then you can use Fantastico to install more easily.

Download the source code wordpress

You can download the source code first the updated version of wordpress in the URL http://wordpress.org
Preparing the database

Before starting the WordPress installation, you first prepare a new database that will be used. Here are the steps:

1. SPANEL from the main menu, select the menu MySQL
2. choose Add a database, and specify DB_Username, db_name and db_password
3. click Add

Installation script

First of all, you put the downloaded files in the source code / sites / domainname / www, you extract the file if the file is still in form. Zip or. Tar.gz, after you extract, you edit the file wp-config-sample. php, change this section:

define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘putyourdbnamehere’);    // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘usernamehere’);     // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘yourpasswordhere’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);  // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8′);
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, );

From the above description, fill in the DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD with the appropriate databases created in earlier spanel, to keep them DB_HOST localhost, rename the file wp-config-sample.php into wp-config.php, give the file permissions chmod 775. (To do so could be from the shell or use the File Management, see: Chmod the Spanel control panel).

When finished, you try to access your site, there will be a message “It does not look like you’ve installed WP yet. Try running install.php”, continue to click the “install.php”. If you already click install.php, eventually you will find a page that it was welcome, there you click to go to the page “First Step>>”, where you will enter the field and the Weblog title Your e-mail and checklist “I would like my blog to appear in search engines like Google and Technorati “. enable checklist if you want to find blogs on search engines Google, once you’re finished, you click “Continue to second step>>”.

On the second page you will find step username and password to log into your Wordpress CMS administrator, so you need to write them down and not be forgotten.

To get to the administrator, you click the “wp-login.php”, in wp-login.php page is you enter your username and password are displayed in the second last step. If you are logged into wp-login.php, you can change your profile and change their login password according to what you want in the “Update your profile or change your password”.

If you want to start a online business , it’s good to have an immediate focus on your own website, it was the most important thing, because the website who will help you tell the internet everything is.

I think the easiest web site is Wordpress due once time will not more than 5 minutes, especially if you begin to get used to. But if you still really a beginner and do not know the basic terms in the website such as themes, upload, ftp, script, domain, hosting and so it would not be as easy as that.
