Installing WordPress on Bluehost
Click on Install to start the process.
Installation Preference:
Now, in this step of simple scripts, you can decide if you want your blog to be with www or without www. I prefer keeping it without www, as short is always sweet. Though, in this tutorial my client wanted his site to be with www, so I selected http://www option.
Advanced Option:
Here you can give your site a name, which you can change it later if you want to. For username and password, I suggest use any name as username instead of admin. Admin is default username for WordPress and for security purpose, using admin is not suggested. Keep the checkbox at part which says Automatically create a new database.
Legal Agreement:
Read and accept the legal agreement and click on complete button to finish the process.
