WordPress Auto Install – Install WordPress in 30 Seconds

It used to take me about 30 minutes to install a new WordPress site. But now, thanks to my favorite new web host – Hostgator – with their wordpress auto install function, those days are over.

I can now install a new WordPress site in 30 seconds or less. Watch the short, 5-minute video below, and you’ll see how much easier and quicker it is to install WordPress (if you’d rather see the written tutorial, you can find it after the video).

After you watch the video, get yourself over to Hostgator and set up a new account. Use coupon code “biggerlife” for a discount of $9.94 off your hosting package.

WordPress is the perfect platform for your new website or blog, and WordPress auto install makes it simple and easy to get your new site set up in about 30 seconds. Here are the 3 simple steps you can take to install WordPress in about 30 seconds.

Step 1: Get a Web Host that Offers WordPress Auto Install ( Also Known as WordPress 1-Click Install )

There are several web hosting companies who currently offer 1-click auto-install for WordPress. If you’re not sure whether your host offers this feature or not, simply contact their tech support folks to see if they do.

My previous web host did not offer this service, and it would take me at least 30 minutes to install WordPress (and I’m a web developer by trade). Naturally, I was happy to switch to Hostgator, who does offer the WordPress auto-install service.

Step 2: Login to Your Web Hosting Account, Find and Click the Link for Fantastico

Fantastico is a program that automates the installation of various web applications on a web server. Said another way, this is the tool your web host uses to allow you to install WordPress quickly and easily. On the Hostgator control panel, you’ll find the Fantastico link down toward the bottom under “Software/Services.” The link is actually “Fantastico De Luxe.”

Step 3: On the Fantastico Control Panel, Select WordPress, and Follow the Simple Instructions That Follow

Once you get to the Fantastico control panel, you will likely see several different programs that you could install. Obviously, you’ll want to select WordPress, and you want to click the link that says “New Installation.” After that, you simply fill in a few fields (Fantastico will offer you instructions), and click the “Install WordPress” button. Fantastico will work it’s magic in about 5 seconds, and your new WordPress site will be ready to go.
