For all time, the easiest way to setup a wordpress blog at hostmonster hosting is to use the fantastico control panel. There are few blog scripts provided for fast installation: b2evolution, Nucleus, WordPress

At Hostmonster hosting, Setup a blogging site on host monste hosting is not hard. Indeed, i always prefer using wordpress script, as this is the best blogging script that i had come across. Setup is fast simple and only take me less than 5 minutes. Belief it, when i first start setup blog website, it took me 15 minutes. Guess I am getting better and better. I need to thanks for the good hostmonster support team that give me a good guidline to start with this hosting as well.

Go to wordpress.org, download the latest blog script. Here is downloaded the version 2.1. Quickly I unzip it and upload to host monster. How? FTP login to hostmonster, using the right username and password. FTP upload all files.

Go to Hostmonster. Then i login to cpanel, go to advanced menu> mysql database section. And create a new mysql database by selecting “Add Database”. Once the mysql database created, add new user to the database. And finally the host monster database is setup, and can be access from phpmyadmin, a web tool that allow me to manage the database through web browser.

“NOTE - To remotely access your databases, you must contact hostmonster support to allow the connection through our firewall as well. Please contact hostmonster with the IP numbers you would like to be able to connect from.”… this only necessary if you going to connect to database from your computer. Which is not necessary if you just want to setup blog site for now
