Exited to see your first blog? Definitely you are and it’s very interesting. So, hold your excitement for few minutes and just follow my steps. You will be able to start your own blog in next 15 minutes.

What you need to create your first blog?

You need only your hosting account user id and password. You can access to CPANEL using your user id and password. Oh! I forgot to say you about CPANEL. CPANEL is a panel where you will maintain your hosting account. Means installing blog, adding domain, sub domain, email account etc. To access your CPANEL you just type as below in browser:

http://yourDomain.com/cpanel

Then it will ask user id and password. Just enter user id and password and you can access your cpanel.

Note: Depending on situation you need 48 hours to access CPANEL after you bought your hosting package.

Let’s Start With The 3 Easiest Steps to Create your Blog:

Step1: Log In to your CPANEL. You will get a screen as below:

Step2.1 Select domain to install. If you have only one domain then select the domain name as YourDomainName.com
Step2.2 Here you have to decide whether you want to install your blog in root directory of your domain or in a sub directory.

Root directory means your blog will be installed in your domain root. For example: http://YourDomain.com

Sub directory means your blog will be installed in a sub directory of your domain root. For example: http://YourDomain.com/SubDirectoryName/

If you choose root directory then your blog URL will be http://YourDomainName.com and if you choose sub directory then it will be http://YourDomainName.com/SubDirectoryName/

In this example I choose sub directory as there is already a blog present in my root directory.
