4. Fill in the details and click ‘create database’.
5.  Save the database information in a text file for future reference. And click to go back to control panel
6. Now locate ‘File Manager’ under ‘Files’ section. Click it. You’ll need to log in by entering password of your 000webhost account.
7. Click ‘public_html’ folder in file manager and select (check) ‘default.php’ file and click ‘delete’ and then confirm it by clicking the green tick (√) mark. Finally, click the back button beside the green tick mark. We won’t need that file because we are going to upload WordPress files and install WordPress there.
8. Next, download latest WordPress fromhttps://wordpress.org/download/‎ and extract it.
9. Upload all the extracted files to ‘public_html’ folder in your host. You should be careful while uploading the files. You can compress the extracted files in .zip format into several pieces where each piece should be less than 5 MB because 000webhost will not allow uploading file size greater than that.
10. Next step is to configure the ‘config.php’ file. Go to the just extracted WordPress folder and find ‘wp-config-sample.php’ file and rename it to ‘wp-config.php’ and edit it as per the database information we received and saved in a text file in step 5. Zip the file and upload it to ‘public_html’ folder in your host. (Note: Use ‘mysql4.000webhost.com’ as hostname. Do not use localhost!)
11. Wait for 24-48 hours.
12. Now if everything is fine. You can install WordPress by visiting the link ‘yourdomain.com.np/wp-admin/install.php’ in the browser. During WordPress installation, fill all the required details carefully and save the username and password.
