Hello,
I am very confused as to how I create a webhost with phpMyAdmin.
The instructions are very confusing, and no one goes over that specific part.

Hi there! Sure thing. So I don't know why but the internet makes it a bit needlessly complicated to setup a website. But in general there are 3 steps involved. 1: Getting a Domain (or a url like http://www.______.com) You can get a website domain/url at places like DOMAIN.COM or GODADDY.COM. They typically run from $8-$14. 2. Getting a WebHost ServiceA webhost is basically a service that holds all the files of your website domain. The domain is basically just the ownership rights to a URL, but the webhost is a file database (like an online harddrive). Services such as BLUEHOST.COM, HOSTGATOR.COM, or JUSTHOST.COM are good options. They charge a monthly fee. But I know of a free one which is freehostingnoads.net/ . This site also gives you a free domain if you don't have one (but the URL will be less pretty, like: http://www._______.t15.org) Select your service, make an account and then proceed to step 3.  3. Linking NameserversNow you have to tell your domain provider who you chose as a webhost so your URL directs to your files. Go back into your domain provider account and look for a setting called " Nameservers". Change the 2 nameservers to your webhost's nameservers. Here's a video on how to do so: www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-HwI4-zN7kYou can typically find your webhost's nameservers right on the main page (cpanel) when you login. There's a column on the side and it lists the info of your account. Find it there and enter it into GoDaddy/etc. Lastly: Continue TutorialOk! So you should be ready to continue the vid tutorial from here. But if you still have questions please feel free to ask. |

Hello Juan,
Backer here. I don't have a website, nor do I want one. I just want to use the functionality for my private purposes. Is there any way I can work offline? Do I have to create a local host for that, and if so, how?
Thanks.

Hi Ruscthilion,
I'm trying to use that, but I'm getting sql credential errors. I'm sure the answer is in spending time watching videos and reading the docs, but if you have a quick one line answer for how to set credentials locally with xampp, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

Specifically:

Basically, the video instructions are geared towards setting up a database with a user-friendly commercial hosting service like bluehost, but I could use instructions on how to set up the database locally using XAMPP, that would be extremely helpful.
