    Wordpress Help
    I want to create a personal website and I want it to have a blog feature. I've heard good things about Word Press but I've been unable to install it on my free host and their "Autoinstaller" which installs scripts for you isn't working.

    Does anyone know of a host that comes with Wordpress ready to install with a click? I've tried another free host called bytehost or something but their script installer is also broken.

    Site5 has Fantastico, which enables easy installation of Wordpress, amongst other third-party plugins.

    I run +100 websites with Hosting24. About 20 of them run on Wordpress.

    It's also very affordable and includes a free domain.

    What's the catch? The servers are in the USA so it's slightly, but not significantly slower to access in the UK.

    I used that Site5 steveholt recommended. I didn't need to install by FTP because it has a one click fast install option included. Works like a charm.

    I prefer WordPress because you can actually build a website around it. This is why I stopped using Blogger.

    I use bluehost for my wordpress hosting! Their prices are great and they feature the auto installed of wordpress. They are also voted no1 by the wordpress community.
