SIMPLICITY: WordPress is simple to setup and easy to use and it is available from right within WebsiteOS. Simply click the "Site Builders" option and "WordPress Installer". The easy-to-use wizard takes you through all the required steps of installing and configuring your MySQL Database and WordPress. Within minutes you will have an effective blog site that incorporates visually appealing design templates.

PERSONALIZE: Keep your visitors informed about updates to your blog through RSS and ATOM syndication, while automatically archiving previous posts for easy management and future reference.

CONTROL: The blog administrator has the authority to assign, approve or delete visitor comments before they are posted. It enables the blog owner to easily post updates and receive comments – content is renewed and kept fresh on your timeframe.

FEATURES & BENEFITS
Themes: WordPress users may install and switch between themes. Themes allow users to change the look and functionality of a WordPress website or installation without altering the informational content. Themes may be installed by using the Wordpress "Dashboard" administration tool, or by uploading theme folders via FTP. The PHP and HTML code in themes can also be edited for more advanced customizations.
Plugins: One very popular feature of WordPress is its rich plugin architecture which allows users and developers to extend its abilities beyond the features that are part of the base install; WordPress has a database of over 18,000 plugins with purposes ranging from SEO to adding widgets.
Widgets: Widgets are small modules that offer users drag-and-drop sidebar content placement and implementation of many plugins' extended abilities. Widgets allow WordPress developers to add functionality to their sites. These small widgets can be used to add functionality such as a slideshow, Facebook-like box, small news slider, and more.

WordPress requires PHP and MySQL to install and run. Available on SilverLite hosting plans and higher.

HostSellers does not offer any training or assistance using WordPress. We offer the installer to make the setup process simpler for you. Users should maintain full backups of their public and database directories. We include phpMyAdmin in your control panel for the download and backup of your database folder. Please consult the documentation at the WordPress website for further use and instructions on their software.
