Most of the beginners face errors while hosting their wordpress website, today I will share my view on hosting wordpress website. Let’s check the 4 steps to host wordpress website.
1)Copy all wordpress files to server root folder using FTP.
2)Import database to mysql database.
3)Create .Htaccess file at wordpress project root folder.
4)Create wp-config.php file and update database details.

1. Now create a folder under public_html to copy all your local host wordpress files using FTP.
2. Now create database in phpmyadmin and create users for database, now import database from local system.
Once database is imported, check for wp_options table, here in this table we need to check table row option_name, and update siteurl and home page to website domain name you are using, instead of localhost.
