How to Install a Ready

1. Click the Control Panel link in the welcome email sent by HostGator when you started service.
2. Enter your user name and password, then press 'Enter' or click 'Log In.' The HostGator Control Panel appears.

3. Scroll to the 'Software/Services' section near the bottom of the window and click 'QuickInstall.'
4. Click 'WordPress' under 'Blog Software' in the upper-left corner of the window, then click 'Continue.'
5. Click the drop-down menu under 'Install WordPress' and select the domain that you would like to install WordPress on, such as 'mywebsite.com.' If you would like users to see your blog when visiting 'mywebsite.com,' leave the box after the forward slash empty. If you want the blog to be a separate section of the site, such as 'mywebsite.com/blog,' enter the word 'blog,' or any other word you like, in the box.
6. Enter the email address to which you would like WordPress to email the administrator password for your blog. This must be a valid email address.
7. Type the name that WordPress should display when readers visit your site in the 'Blog Title' box. You can change this value later if you like.
8. Click the 'Install Now' button. When the installation is complete, the bar changes to show the word 'Congratulations.'
9. Check the email address that you provided when installing WordPress. You will find an email from WordPress titled 'New WordPress Site.' Open the email and note the password contained within.
10. Enter the location of your new WordPress blog in the address bar at the top of the browser window, and add '/wp-admin' to the end. For example, if you installed the blog at 'mywebsite.com' or 'mywebsite.com/blog,' type 'mywebsite.com/wp-admin' or 'mywebsite.com/blog/wp-admin' and press 'Enter.'
11. Enter 'admin' in the 'Username' box, and enter the password displayed in the email from WordPress. Click 'Log In' to begin using your new blog.
