Firstly you'll be needing a host to host the blog! here are some information from the recommended hosting site

Before we continue sign up for an account HERE , click on signup and follow the instructions, after you have done it.. then return to this guide..

now for the wordpress stuffs

1) Download wordpress from HERE

2) Unzip the downloaded file (obviously >.>)

4) Scroll down and click on MySQL .. (highlighted on screenshot)

5) Fill up the create new database box... like this (Use your own desired username and database name ! ( and password of course) don't copy mine!.. u can if you want though =p ) also take note of the red underlined address

ss2bt5.gif

You should see this after creating the database.. don't throw this information away.. we'll be using it later

information.gif MySQL database has been created. Use these details for your PHP scripts:

$mysql_host = "mysql2.000webhost.com";

$mysql_database = "a4679836_mywpdb";

$mysql_user = "a4679836_wpadmin";

$mysql_password = "ilovekittens1";

It can take about 1 minute until your database and phpMyAdmin will start working.

6) Go back to your unzipped wordpress folder on the main folder, u should find this file called wp-config-sample.php with or without the .php extention (if u hide it), rename the file to wp-config.php or wp-config accordingly.

7) Open the file on notepad (right click the file, open with..., select notepad ) if you done it correctly, the first few lines will be look like this.. looking similar? hah its wad we're supposed to do with the information provided up there

so we change from this...

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define('DB_NAME', 'putyourdbnamehere'); // The name of the database

define('DB_USER', 'usernamehere'); // Your MySQL username

define('DB_PASSWORD', 'yourpasswordhere'); // ...and password

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');

define('DB_COLLATE', '');

to this! ( Note: it says 99% wont be needed to change that 'localhost' value.. but we fall into that 1% :( )

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define('DB_NAME', 'a4679836_mywpdb'); // The name of the database

define('DB_USER', 'a4679836_wpadmin'); // Your MySQL username

define('DB_PASSWORD', 'ilovekittens1'); // ...and password

define('DB_HOST', 'mysql2.000webhost.com'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');

define('DB_COLLATE', '');

Save the file, make sure you don't do anything to the bottom part & make sure you don't save to the wrong file

8) Zip wordpress folder up with the modification done ( so its like everything is the same except for the wpconfig thing )

Now, we have to upload the zipped modified file into our webhost!

For those who need it...

Select File Manager...

ss3xl7.gif

Go inside public_html

ss4dp2.gif

Once inside, click on upload... you'll see a page with many details

Look for this and select the path to your modified, zipped, wordpress file

like this

ss5uz0.gif

then click on the green tick when you're done and wait for the upload to complete...

Note: You will see a lot of warnings just ignore them!

now you go to your main directory... ( do so by clicking on the blue reverse button after upload )

and tada! you have all your files uploaded ( and unzipped! )

Hang on there.. almost done.. find the file index.php and click Open on the right hand side .. wad do u see? =D

dats why i say its a scam .. dont do that affi thing

You can simply join a hosting that has cPanel on it, and go to your cPanel -> Fantastico -> WordPress.

A few clicks, and WordPress will be installed automatically!

PS: I won a one year hosting + domain name a few weeks ago on a web contest. If you're interested, send me a PM

I'm going to give it another try. in order to get your money. you must have at least 20 sign-ups.

If it happens again. I'm going to remove my referral banner in my blog.

And I will not host anymore with them (WinBubble with more than 100,000+++ downloads :D)... But as of now.

They are fast! and of course... Free...

    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
