Add Wordpress to GoDaddy Hosting (after MYSQL database is installed)

How to Install WP on Go Daddy Hosting. Please note you'll have already needed to set up your MSQL database in order to move forward with this. If you haven't set up the MYSQL database here's how you do it. Wordpress brags about a "famous 5 minute install" and that's after you create the MYSQL database which can take upwards of a half hour:). ( yes I have watched this video and I think it's reasonable.)


After you've got the MYSQL database here's what you do:


1) Log in

2) Go to "My Account" tab on far right and select Account Summary.












3) You'll get a menu on the left that looks like this. Select "hosting"









4) From here the page will load and the site your working on will pop up with a list of a few others. Click on the "Launch" button.





5)Now you'll be in the "Hosting Control Center". Look to the right and see a menu that says APPLICATIONS: install and manage. Click on the WP icon....







6) Find the page w/ multiple applications. Click on the WP.









7) You'll be walked through a 4 step process to set up word press. You'll complete the process and you may have to wait somewhere in the ballpark of a half hour for the process to be complete- I think it's taking me about 15min.
