WordPress and BT Hosting

scoughlin — Mon, 30 Jun 2014 23:43:17 GMT

Hello Support,

I am considering using BT Hosting to host a WordPress website, however I am unsure about exactly how WordPress is installed on the BT Webserver.

Firstly, can WordPress be installed onto the 'starter' package of web hosting? I've noticied there is a tick beside WordPress on the features list, but I just want to confirm. And if so, how is this done?

And lastly, if I create the website using WordPress locally, is it jsut a simple case of uploading the files?

Sorry if these questions have already been posted here, but I would appreciate any advice on the matter.

Thanks in advance.

Just wondering if you ever got the answer to this question? I am in a similar place now and not sure how to progress.

Thanks

Hi guys - I am also in the same position. I chatted with BT today and it actually looks as though we are supported. Here is a transcript - hope this helps.

My question was something like - I currently have the BT Web Hosting (IBP (1) package and I am creating a Wopress website off-line. Can you please tell me if Wordpress is covered with this package.

Natalie: Hi, my name is Natalie. I am reviewing your question.
Natalie: Hi Heather, what's the domain name and I'll have a look?
Heather Greig: http://www.vpa-ni.co.uk
Natalie: Thanks.
Natalie: Yes that will be supported 🙂
Heather Greig: That's great - I just wanted to check as I was unsure if I need to move from the £5 per month to £18.
Natalie: I understand. Is there anything else I can help with?
Heather Greig: Does BT offer assistance with the migration of the Worpress site into BT?
Natalie: Yes, if you use the Wordpress one click installer.
Heather Greig: Okay - thank you for your help - that is all I think I need for now.
Natalie: OK doke, have a nice day!
Natalie has disconnected.
