How to host your own Wordpress blog

Installing Wordpress on your own server gives you more control over your blog. This Instructable is a step-by-step guide on how to do it, completely free and no coding skills required.

Step 1: Get Hosted

First off, you'll need a server to upload all of your files. We need a host that supports MySQL, and FTP would make the process alot easier, but most web hosts support those 2 features anyway. If you already have a web host that supports MySQL and FTP, then go to the next step. For this Instructable, i'll be using http://www.1free.ws/, which is a free web host, but you can choose one from the list below, or find your own.
