how to manually install WordPress on a web based server?

  We do have a lot of paid and free web hosting (php+mysql) services which provide inbuilt applications to auto install most of the popular scripts. However, just in case if you want to explore manual method for fun, follow this short tutorial. To begin playing with wordpress and other similar CMSs you may also consider hosting them on your local system using WAMP/LAMP or XAMPP.
To illustrate the procedures in this tutorial i have used www.my3gb.com -a free web host service.
1. To begin with create a account on www.my3gb.com. Its free and simple and takes less than 2 minutes.
2. After you are done with registration, login into the site (www.my3gb.com) using your username and password.

3. After you have successfully logged in, you will be redirected to control panel, if you aren’t, click on “control panel” at right top.

5. Now open “create/delete MySQL database” from the set of icons on control panel. this will redirect a new page as shown below.

on this page you will find different sections viz: “create Database”, “Create User”, “Assign Privileges”. Follow the steps in sequence, and create a new database (on my3gb you can create upto 2 databases when using free account); next create a user and assign it privileges (leave default selected, unless you want to disable certain queries). keep a note of the values entered on this page, as you will be using the same values for connecting your frontend with database.
6. Now, go to “file manager”.
once there click “Upload files” and choose wordpress# archive file (wordpress.zip) from your hard disk.
#you will find wordpress archive at www.wordpress.org.  (Download latest/suitable/compatible version from wordpress site onto your hard disk.)

Now, follow your site’s URL on control panel’s home page, which should look something like below --
