Setup a Wordpress Blog
How to setup a blog on our servers

Go to Wordpress' Download section to get their latest zipped release.
Unzip the file into yourdomainname.com/YOURBLOGDIRECTORY (for FTP, it would be www/YOURBLOGDIRECTORY).
.
Copy or rename the "wp-config-sample.php" found in the blog root directory to "wp-config.php".
Open wp-config.php.
Under the "MySQL Settings", you will need to change the following:
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'username'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

to

define('DB_NAME', 'yourdomainname');
define('DB_USER', 'yourdomainname');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');
define('DB_HOST', 'mysqlserver.setupsite.com');

Your MySQL database name and username should be the same. The DB_HOST address, where the MySQL servers are located, will be either be yourmysqlserver.setupsite.com or yourmysqlserver.setupsite.net. Refer to your MySQL login email sent by us for this information.
Go to http://yourdomainname.com/YOURBLOGDIRECTORY/wp-admin/install.php . If successful, you should see the following:
Follow and fill in the necessary form entries.
Wordpress should then populate the MySQL database with the necessary entries. If successful, you should see a similar page:
Log in and change the admin username and password as needed at http://yourdomainname.com/YOURBLOGDIRECTORY/wp-login.php .
Go to http://yourdomainname.com/YOURBLOGDIRECTORY/index.php . Your Wordpress blog installation should now be completed.
