Going back guys, you can create your website locally. What does that mean? That means that you can create your website on your computer and put it on the internet later on. You can do that by using a local server by creating a local server and using a software called exam. Exam P. Yeah, exam BB. It's quite good software, but it can get acquired it can get quite complicated.

So, what you can use is local by flywheel and you can download it and it looks something like this. So what you can do is you can create a new site you can put your site's name, local website, okay. Continue to generality be preferred continue. Now what is your username now this is the username and password which you will use to access As the backend of your WordPress website, okay, and this is quite important so make sure that this thing is strong enough so that hackers are not able to crack it easily. And believe me there are many DDoS attacks on WordPress websites, so please use strong passwords there. Okay.

So let me choose, I will choose 123 because I will delete this website after a while you went It was 123 password is 123 ad site. All right now it is creating the website. So our website is done. Now let's click on admin. All right, now it goes here. Now put in the login and password it created in the previous step.

Okay. And voila, here is your WordPress dashboard. Alright, local site, you can visit the site, hello world. All right, and don't fret. I'll show you what all these means in future videos. Alright guys, so how that's how you get your website locally.

I'll show you another method to do this I don't like our local because it is riddled with bugs it has not worked for me at one lie even once. So yeah, I don't like it but it is very easy to use. So let me show you the other way. The better way to do this. If we delete this, yes, delete everything I don't want it. I don't need it.

Close close XAMPP now download the whichever version that works for you. For Windows, Linux or Mac OS X, etc. Start the Apache module, start the my SQL module. Alright, now, go to word, press dot O RG All right. And click on Get WordPress. Download WordPress 5.3 point two.

All right and after you have done that go to wherever you installed XAMPP so it goes into C drives and here inside go to ht docs, then go to the downloaded WordPress files, right. So mine is I don't know where it went. It is downloading actually it downloaded. Yeah. So here it is. Let me open this.

Okay, what press me extracted to WordPress 5.3 point two now, here it is WordPress 5.3 want to open this, copy this and paste it here in ht docs. All right now it is done copying. here make sure it is the the WordPress files are directly inside this folder. Okay? Don't make a folder inside a folder. Just make sure it is right here.

Now you can rename this folder to anything so let me rename it local no something else commerce free vote 2020 skill that I think would 20 is fine or 20 ready, right? Copy this okay. Now what you need to do is go to your browser and type in localhost slash vote 2020 enter and this window shows up all right click on Continue. Now Welcome to WordPress. Before getting started, we need some information on the database you will need to know the following items before proceeding proceeding. So these are the things that you will need School Okay, here it is.

So database name but what is the database and do you know it? No you don't nobody knows what the database name is because we have not created it how will we know the name? So first what we need to do is create the database All right, so what do you need to do is go to XAMPP in the my SQL module, go to admin. Now go to databases and create a database Now make sure that database name is easy to remember so let me name it whoo 2020 only and created Alright, now it's done as you can see, it's here. Whoo 2020. Now close this and put in vo 20.

Ready here. All right, username is root. All right, make sure it is root password, leave blank, database host local host table prefix WP whatever, whatever. Now if you are creating more than one website on this Hello, locally, then rename it web one. All right. Otherwise, let's let it be WP underscore and click on Submit.

All right. Cool. Now that we are here now let me rename it now. Sorry, rename it to woof 2020. username 123 password is 123.

I will delete it, of course, confirm use of the password for your email. discourage search engines from indexing the site. Please don't take on this, or this will do is won't discourage Google to search or index your website so it won't show up on the search results. So please don't if you're like if you're doing something secretive. If you are in the CIA then then please, then you can go ahead and take it But if you are not if you are selling something, or if you are creating a real studio website or something that people need to see, then please don't take on it. Alright, next install WordPress.

And it is running the installation. Alright, as you can see it is a success lock in. Again 123123 login. Don't say cool. Again, we are here. All right.

I like this method better when compared to local because local light is not working for me. I don't I cannot access my database. And I use local. Alright. So yeah, these are the two methods of getting your website locally. So yeah, next I will tell you about web hosts in the next video.

So I'll see you there. Bye.
