WordPress is a powerful and user-friendly platform for creating your book direct website, even if you have no technical background.

Many hosting providers offer a one-click installation feature, which makes getting started quick and easy. If your hosting provider doesn’t include one-click installation, you can also manually upload the WordPress package to your site.

One-Click WordPress Installation

If your hosting provider supports one-click WordPress installation:
  • Log in to your hosting account.
  • Navigate to the WordPress installer, usually found in the control panel (e.g., cPanel or your host’s dashboard).
  • Follow the prompts to complete the installation. This typically includes selecting your domain and creating an admin account.
Manual WordPress Installation

If one-click installation isn’t available, you can manually install WordPress with these steps:
  • Download WordPress: Visit WordPress.org and download the latest WordPress package.

  • Create a Database: Set up a database on your hosting server with a MySQL (or MariaDB) user that has full privileges.

  • Configure WordPress:
    • Locate the wp-config-sample.php file in the WordPress folder.
    • Rename it to wp-config.php and add your database details (optional, as the installer can generate this for you).

  • Upload WordPress Files:
    • Use an FTP client to upload the WordPress files to your server.
    • Place them in your domain’s root directory (e.g., https://example.com/) or a subdirectory (e.g., https://example.com/blog/).

  • Run the Installer:
