There are thousands of hosting providers with as many different hosting setups. The difficulty of explaining the installation of Magento at a commonly used hosting service is that the procedure differs from hosting provider to hosting provider, depending on the tools they use for their services. There are providers, for instance, who use Plesk, DirectAdmin, or cPanel. Although these user environments differ from each other, the basic steps always remain the same:
- Check the requirements of Magento (there's more information on this topic at the beginning of this chapter).
- Upload the Magento installation files using an
ftptool, for instance, Filezilla (download this free at: http://filezilla-project.org). - Create a database. This step differs slightly per hosting provider, but often a tool, such as PhpMyAdmin is used. Ask your hosting provider if you're in doubt about this step. You will need: the database name, database user, password, and the name of the database server.
- Browse to your domain and run the Magento installation process, which is the same as we saw earlier in this chapter.
