Introduction:
WordPress is the world’s most popular Content Management System (CMS), powering over 40% of all websites today. It allows anyone — from beginners to advanced developers — to create and manage websites without needing to code everything from scratch.
Installing WordPress yourself on your hosting server gives you:
Full Control over your website (unlike hosted platforms like WordPress.com or Wix).
Customization Power with thousands of free and premium themes & plugins.
Scalability so your site can grow from a simple blog to a full-fledged business website or online store.
Ownership of your content and data (you’re not locked into a platform).
The process of installation might sound technical, but it’s actually straightforward. You only need:
A domain name
A hosting account
The WordPress package (free to download)
Once installed, you’ll have your own website ready, and you can design it however you want.
