These are the instructions for setting up WordPress Website on your Internet Service Provider, ISP, 1and1.com, GoDaddy and Host Gator. 

GoDaddy: 



WordPress® is a personal publishing platform, or content management system, that you can use to set up a blog on your website.
To Install WordPress on Your Hosting Account
1.    Log in to your Account Manager.
2.    Click Web Hosting.
Click one of the following, based on the type of hosting you have. You can tell this by the second word in your hosting's description beneath your hosting account's domain name, e.g. Deluxe Web correlates to Web (Hosting Control Panel).

1.    Next to the hosting account you want to use, click Launch.
2.    In the Popular Apps section, click WordPress.
3.    Complete the on-screen fields, and then click OK:
·       Domain — Select the domain on your account you want to use.

·       Enter a Username, a Password (and its confirmation), and an Email Address.
WordPress will be installed to your hosting account with the options you selected within 24 hours. When it is complete, you will receive a confirmation email.
