Installing your WordPress blog on a hosting that is shared plan with subdomain capabilities. Installing Wordpress over a subdomain is the greatest installation option. So before you install WordPress, first create a subdomain where WordPress files will be kept. Fortunately, creating a subdomain is something most favored host support. And need rest, making a subdomain is really as simple as clicking a control button. Typically, you want to your website's hosting control panel where there will probably be friendly instructions and links to making a subdomain. Once you make your subdomain what you name it is very important. Once you name your subdomain avoid using a general name like, "wordPress-blog". Instead, increase the risk for subdomain name specific to your topic, like "insurance-blog".

The main reason for installing WordPress on a subdomain is, "the search engines will consider your subdomain a different site; thus, your blog's backlinks to your site is going to be considered external links (and without entering the specific seo, this can be good). Slightly off topic, for those that follow search results news, you could have heard that Google has lowered the need for a subdomain's link back to the parent site. Even though this is true, the value of a subdomain has only been lowered to aid eliminate websites from dominating keyword terms; the value still exists and for that reason still is practical to set up your website over a subdomain.

In the event in which you use a dedicated server, you will have to manually install WordPress, or work with a webmaster to set up your site. In some situations, your host may install WordPress for a small fee. In any event, ensure that you tell the host or webmaster you would like WordPress installed on a subdomain.

Whether you are well on a hosting that is shared plan or dedicated hosting, if you do not want to create a subdomain it is not required. You can create WordPress on your own root server where your internet site files are situated. This method isn't as good regarding SEO, but your WordPress blog will continue to work and function correctly. Should you decide to put WordPress where your website's files are (this is called your root directory) make sure your installation folder is keyword specific. As an example, don't create a folder called "wordpress" or "blog", create a folder having a short file name concerning your blog. Also, when installing WordPress you do not want to produce your blog in the folder, that's in the folder, which is inside a folder. Instead you should have one folder around the root directory and when that folder is opened all the files for WordPress will probably be there. This does NOT mean there'll not be folders within this file. You will notice all kinds of files and folders which make WordPress run; don't change these. The reason why you would like to maintain your blog loaded with your directory is, the search engines often consider just a two folders down lacking in value; and you also don't want your blog's content considered lower in value.
