Create a WordpressBlog in a free domain

CREDITS: Yαsh λswαиι™


Hie, For all users who have made a wordpress blog on wordpress . com and want to create a wordpress blog on a domain name, here's a tut for you.

Introduction - Wordpress is a domain platform like blogger. You can create a wordpress blog by two ways

1 You create a blog on wordpress co-domain. You can do this by going to the link wordpress . com and follow the procedures to make a blog.

2 Next is you make a wordpress blog on your own domain name. It has its own advantages. Now go to wordpress . org and download wordpress folder.

Now after that you are donw with the downloading, you just have to upload your folder data in your domain name and you are done. But the problem is most of us(including me) don't own a domain.





So, heres a sollution of the problem. Let me complete the TUT before you comment !

You will have to look for a host that complies with the minimum requirements for setting up a Wordpress blog: PHP4.3 or above and MySQL4 or above. Also, it should provide access to ftp uploading.

Here I will demonstrate the method using Zymic server, which provides 6GB of web space and 50GB of monthly data transfer. You should consider the limit of data transfer allowed because this will determine how many web pages can your blog serve without crossing the limit. The exact number will depend on the size of web page. For Zymic, even if a web page is 500KB, it will be possible to view it 100,000 times. Sufficient for most blogs. If you want to double the data transfer limit, you can use 000Webhost.


First, sign-up with Zymic and log in.
Go to Zymic Control Panel through “My Account Management” tab on the sidebar and create a new web hosting account in your Zymic Control Panel. I am creating an account called “slumdog”



Once created, you can use login buttons next to hosting account names to start using the hosting account. Remember to use the password that you have given for the particular hosting account; it can be different from your main password, depending on your choice.

Creating Database -

Now, create a MySQL database following the steps. All the options are available on the same page, arranged one below the other.



Create a new database. My database is called “wordpress”.



Create a new user along with a secure password. My user name will be “wpuser”.


Assign the user with the database name. To do this you must use the "Assign Privileges" section.

Now note down your MySQL database details which you will use for creating configuration file for Wordpress. For me, it will be as follows:

Database name: slumdog_wordpress
Database username: slumdog_wpuser
Database password: “MYDBPASSWORD”
Database host: localhost
Table prefix: wp_1


Now, we need to transfer wordpress to the web folder. First, unzip the Wordpress archive folder that you have downloaded from wordpress.org. Now, we need to transfer the content of the unzipped wordpress folder on your computer to the web space. For this we will use an opensource FTP client FileZilla. Download and install it on your computer. You can also use any other FTP client.
