A beginners guide for installing WordPress MU

I’ve put together a straightforward video covering how you can install WPMU from scratch with a $7 hosting account, a domain and a copy of Filezilla.

Would be great to get peoples feedback as to how well this is put together / covers the key points / what’s missed out / should be included.

Getting started with WordPress MU.

Boy, I wish I had found this site when I was just getting started. It was a total nightmare for me. And, I bought a FTP program, when I could have used a free version…oh well live and learn!

Its nice that most of the newer hosting companies have an auto install and auto upgrade. Sure does make it a heck of alot easier.

Nice work James. I recently moved to Wordpress from blogger and really am amazed with it. Regretting the late move. But tutorials like this really help me out. Thanks a lot. Been roaming around your blog and finding it really awesome.

It was a really useful guide. Learnt many stuff. Appreciate that. But got one question though. Can’t I do this with a free hosting account. i still am in college and paying for hosting is a slight problem for me. Thanks for the guide.

I tried installing MU once, I totally messed it up. I should give it a shot again, I have a perfect domain to put MU on. Wish I had this video last year!

Keep up the good work James!

I think I’m gonna try it again, I kind of blew it last time thanks for the guide.

Sorry James,

Yes me again. I spent all that time commenting on the home page and asking stupid questions, when all I had to do was type beginners guide into the search box, lol.

Great video. Now all I have to do is watch the others

That’s a really great tutorial. What I have to say to most clients is that you don’t need much to get started its so low cost its mindblowing. Thanks for the great walkthrough reference!
