5. Install Filezilla (FTP client):
You can download Filezilla on this website filezilla-project.org . Once downloaded and installed you need to go to site manager, login with your Username and password which you got from your hosting service.
6. Uploading WordPress:
After logging in with Filezilla you will see files on your computer on the left and have the domain files on the right side. In the latter find the folder public_html. Select all files contained in the WordPress folder (in your computer) and drag into the folder public_html.

Finally, go to the browser and type in the domain. Now fill in your Database details which we created in step 3. You can also fill in your website title and Admin username and password.
Once installed you can access the administration panel by typing in the browser yourdomain.com /wp-admin .
