It sounds like a daunting task, however it is very simple. To install WordPress using Fantastico in cPanel hosting is by far the easiest way to get the job done. I wish I could have found a video tutorial like this when I was struggling to work it out some years ago.
If your website hosting comes with a cPanel that includes Fantastico then you are laughing. You can have a website installed within minutes. Hosting such as Hostgator and Just host can help you out with this.
If you plan on building a WordPress website from scratch or even many WordPress websites like I do, you definitely want to make the job easy for you by finding the right WordPress website host. As you can see in the picture below, I have hosting that has a feature called Fantastico which allows me to install WordPress at the push of a button.
This is what you see when you are in your hosting cPanel. If you click on the Fantastico link you will be able to install not only WordPress, but in many other website templates.
You can see all of the details by watching the video above. You can also download my details free PDF report about how to build a WordPress website.

I am addicted to internet marketing and making money online. Who wouldn't want to live that life? I started out with one website as a hobby and now have over 20. Building websites and making money online is not that hard. You have to actually take action to make money...that is the biggest hurdle! :)

Pretty much every host is offering now WordPress installers. As a web host you can not afford not to offer WordPres installation anymore since about 26% of all new websites are running WordPress. – We offer WordPress installer with all our plans – even the free one!

Not all web hosting providers that offer cPanel purchase the third party software known as Fantastico. If your web hosting provider has upgraded to cPanel 11 then you can do this without Fantastico.

Hi There,
I was following your advice and started the process for a wordpress website. I however did not use fantastico to download wordpress. And am Lost. Now there is no wordpress admin panel in the cpanel on hostgator. Suggestion?? I tried to install w/fantastico and it says delete all files. Not sure how to. Can you help??
Hi there
The best thing to do is contact hostgator through support and ask them to remove the files for you…. They will do it… Then you can go to fantastico and start again…
I just google hostgator support and then click on the live chat section.
Thanks for sharing, I was looking for this a long time…Regards,
