Install WordPress on GoDaddy Shared Hosting
Just a few years back, if you wanted to host a WordPress blog on your own website, you avoided GoDaddy at all costs. WordPress and other mainstream Web applications simply didn’t work on GoDaddy shared hosting without a lot of extra work. As a result, GoDaddy quickly gained a reputation as a cheap Web host that’s good only for regular HTML web sites. Over time GoDaddy support for Web applications improved, but installing WordPress still required extra work. GoDaddy also introduced automatic installers for WordPress, but the result was usually a non-standard installation and code that was a few versions too old.
Fast forward to today. With GoDaddy’s new Hosting Connection, you can install the latest version of WordPress and many other Web applications such as Joomla with just a few mouse clicks. It really couldn’t be much easier. Following are step-by-step instructions to install WordPress on GoDaddy shared hosting.
