The Set Up - First Steps

The Set Up - First Steps

As I said, I have chosen Webgo as hoster. Here you can find out what you have to do to "activate" the hosting and install WordPress.

After I had decided to use Webgo, the setup had to be done. For this, I signed a contract with Webgo.

To set everything up I downloaded FileZilla, which is a free server and client software for file transfer via FTP and SFTP. I need this to upload data to my database at Webgo.

There are very good tutorials that I found on YouTube, where step by step is explained how to do it. (e.g. Set up webspace at Webgo and install WordPress - Webdesign-Podcast.de - Episode 40)

Beeing well prepared is half the battle

Download in advance to have everything at hand. If you follow a tutorial - it is better to watch it once completely and only then start to implement it.

Here are the steps that need to be taken:

In the Webgo customer portal  

  • Vertrag auswählen
  • Domainauswählen – kann auch später erfolgen
  • Registrieren
  • Benutzer Account erstellen und das Webhosting Packet aktiviren
  • Persönliche Daten eingeben
  • Bestellung bestätigen

Wechseln zu Webgo Webspace Admin

  • Webservereinstellungen einrichten
  • MySQL Datenbank anlegen

Thus, all the requirements that WordPress needs are met.

In order to install WordPress, the following steps must now be taken

  • Zurück zum Kundenportal von Webgo – hier sind alle FTP Daten zu finden (Server URL, Benutzername und Passwort für den FTP Zugang)
  • FTP Passwort ändern
  • Verbindung mit FileZilla herstellen

FileZilla

  • Download von FileZilla Client (nicht Server)
  • FileZilla installieren
  • FileZilla öffnen und die FTP Daten eintragen
  • Verbinden

WordPress auf der Seite WordPress.org downloaden – Speichern

Zurück in FileZilla

  • Verzeichnis am Server aufrufen
  • Index Html löschen
  • WordPress Download Daten hochladen
  • Im Browser die Domain öffnen und das WordPress set-Up durchführen

In the WordPress setup, a few data must be entered and you are ready to go.  Basically, the project is already 50% complete. Now it goes to the design. 

For me, the nice part of the job starts now.
