If you intend to use WordPress to publish your site, it is necessary to install the application of the same name on your Web server. This procedure is very simple and usually takes less than half an hour. On the other hand, if you just want to follow this course and try to create your first site, I recommend that you install it on a local computer. This can be achieved most easily through the so-called of the WAMP server, and all the necessary information will be available to you if you open the following address (www.wampserver.com). You can achieve a similar effect if you choose the BitNami version of WordPress, because it is usable on different platforms. Finally, there is also the possibility to immediately switch to your Web server and install everything you need on it. I need a new website, so I will choose this type of installation, and I believe that it will not be difficult for you to make the right choice either.
