How to install WordPress manually on a domain? (Step-by-step-instruction-guide)

WordPress is the Leading CMS software. It is very easy to install WordPress manually.

First you have to decide what your blog’s niche be?  What’s your Blog title? .  We recommend to you to host your WordPress blog on a Premium web hosting instead of using free web hosting. Because free web hosting were defiled by the spammers and the search engine may omit your blog from search results (may be escaped some times) .

First you should have to get:

• A Domain name.
• A Web hosting account.
• A latest version of WordPress.

Purchasing a Domain and a Web Hosting account: (Optional)

Before installing WordPress you have to buy a Domain and Web Hosting account.

If you ready to buy a domain use Bigrock.

• Use this coupon code in Bigrock for 25% offer: revealingthestuffs.com

After purchasing a domain you have to purchase a web host. We recommend you to use Hostgator.

• Go to Hostgator.com.
• Purchase a hatching plan. Hatchling plan is enough for the blog hosting.
• Use this coupon code to get 25% offer.
• The coupon code is “ASDREFDR35F”.

You can use a subdomain for WordPress hosting if you want.

define(‘DB_USER’, ‘username_here‘);
