Need mega help with Wordpress

[wchurchill]

If Wordpress is the recommended way to publish blogs I have to figure it out. I've watched the video many times and have come to the conclusion that I need help before the video.
First do I need to use hostgator for my domains? I have a domain hosted on GoDaddy so if I need hostgator I need to start there.
When the video says click on a site and brings up all the icons and he selected my sql he's pretty much lost me. Where does cpanel come from?
As you can see I'm way behind what the posts I've read here tell me ----- sooooo if anyone is willing to take a complete newbie I will be forever grateful.
I have been rewriting articles and posting some that fit to one of my sites, but really need to get with the program here before I start the 90 Day.
Thanks to anyone who can help,
WChurchill

Hello,
No you can use any hosting service of your choosing. It does not have to be host gator.

Now on to you other question. YOu got lost at the part with all the icons. That is the cpanel. This is where you set up your sql data base. You will do this for all of your site. So how do you get there, like this:
in your address bar type your domain followed by /cpanel so like this:
www.yourdomainname.com/cpanel then enter your password and username and you are in. There you will see the cpanel icon and you should be able to follow the video from there.
If you need more help, just let me know. You can pm if you want to.
Hope that helps,
Steve

Thanks Steve,

I had the same question. So I choose a domain name based on the 2 niches, right? As I understand it, I purchase the domain names but they are just parked there at godaddy? Is there an address that I forward them to after that or is that what wordpress does?

man am I a newbie or what? I really don't even know how to ask the questions here. Hope you can help with what I've asked so far though.

Hello,
Ok, you now have the names, now you need to get hosting. PLRpro provides free hosting. Not sure exactly where that is, but you should be able to find it. Sign up for the free hosting and then you are ready to install the blog.

Hi ! jd loveland,

If I am not wrong, if you need to use the free hosting provided by PlrPro , you need to register as a paid member and from there you can access it. It is under the Resources>Services>Plrpro Hosting. Otherwise you need to get an outside paid hosting service.

I used Hostgator (recommended by Marc&Daniel) and if you like you can choose anyone of them. But be careful and choose the most reliable one so as you do not want to have much problems later on.

Once you signed up with the hosting co. just point your domains to the nameservers given by your hosting co. For hostgator, their name server will be given to you once you sign up with them and will look something like this:

Your name servers:
ns1.hostgator.com
ns2.hostgator.com

But before that you need to login your Godaddy accounts. The steps are listed below for your easy reference.

1. Log in to your Account Manager.
2. From the Domain Names menu, select Manage Domains. The Domain Control Center opens.
3. In your list of domain names, use the checkboxes to select the domain name you want to modify.
4. Above your list of domain names, click Nameservers.
5. On the Custom Name Servers tab, type in the name servers (at least 2) for your hosting account.
6. Click OK.

I guess that's all you need to do and after that just wait for 1-2 days (maybe faster) for your DNS to propagate worldwide.

How much hosting does PLR provide? How difficult would it be to transfer my hosting later to the PLR hosting? I was going to begin with one of the initial free packages but if I upgraded I would have other choices as well as the free hosting too, right? Where can I preview all the benefits of full membership?

I'm at about page 115 in the VRE and I'm about ready to take my 1st steps.This course is the ultimate package!

Thanks for everything,

jd

PS. I have a 13 handicap and live in San Diego where you can golf 300+ days per year.

To preview the full memebership, you can go to Make Money Online - PLRPro PLR Membership and find out more about them from there. I think they have a free trial right now.

hello,
My son was just in your neck of the woods. He is on a golf scholarship to NMSU and they were playing at USD. Not sure of the course he is a +2 and is a freshman. Right now he is in Hawaii playing for the team. I am a 5 but used to be at the best level a +3.
Later,
Steve
