I know Wordpress installation is a fairly easy task, but those who sign up for Dreamhost might be surprised that they do not use Cpanel to manage their hosting. They have their own in house admin panel to manage your account and installs. This post will briefly walk you through the install.

I recommend Dreamhost for porn blogging because they have open rules about the content they host. They allow porn and also provide a lot of bandwidth and storage space. I consider them a great option for hosting porn.

To install software on Dreamhost, you’ll want to access the Goodies menu. It is on the left side menu when you log in to your admin panel. Once you click goodies, you’ll see the menu expand. There will be a one click install option, click it.

From here, you’ll be able to install a variety of of software easily, just like with cpanel (but it’s setup a little different)

This page gives you two options, easy and advanced mode. The easy mode sets you up with a Wordpress blog and handles all the plugins for you. The negative of this setup is that your options are restricted. You want the advanced mode, which is the general setup everyone has. You’ll want to slect the radio button for Wordpress as shown in the image.

Now, scroll down to the very bottom until you see the items in the image above. Here you’re going to set the directory for the blog. If you want the blog installed on the root directory, leave this blank. By root, I mean the home directory. Blogging Gone Wild for example is installed on the root directory. If you want it installed in a directory /blog/, you simple type blog into the box with the arrow.

Now we need to set up a db. This looks more complicated that it really is. Simply type in a name for the database. Something like domainname_pornblog will work. Then select create a new hostname and just put in mysql into the hostname box. Select create a new user. Type in a username (whatever you want) and type in a password. This is simply setting up a mysql database on your domain, naming it, and setting up a user account. Cpanel does this also, but it works differently on Dreamhost. Now click install.

If you set up everything correctly, you should get a success screen. It will look like this.

Wait about 5 to 10 minutes until Dreamhost completes the install, then go to you blog’s URL. You’re going to be greeted with a basic Wordpress installation screen. Work through it and feel out the information, it’s really simple.

Once you finish filling out the required information, you’ll be given your admin name and password. It’s a simple as that. Your Wordpress blog is complete.It’s a little different than s cpanel based webhost, but it has the benefit of being an adult webhost. If you’re seriously interested in making money with porn, I suggest you grab a Dreamhost account. Even if you already have a hosting account, its good to keep your porn account seperate from your legit hosting account.

I’ve been using Dreamhost for years (and a few other hosts), so if you have any problems and need help installing Wordpress, let me know and I’ll do my best to help you.

Adult Web Hosting
For adult content, you can’t use just any host. Many shared hosts have restrictions on adult content and many completely disallow it. I suggest using DreamHost. For my adult sites, I use DreamHost, which is an affordable shared hosting service. Dreamhost provides highly quality cheap adult web hosting. Dreamhost allowes adult content which is great. Basicially,
