Instaling Wordpress on localhost using AMPPS server

Hey there. In this tutorial im going to show you how to install WordPress on your AMPPS localhost. I already have post How to install WordPress using Softaculous - Namecheap hosting plan 2017 and this is going to be very similar and useful for all of you who want to explore and practice Wordpress before you upload it to payed host. You can see more about hosting plans here : WEB HOSTING .

As i sad before, Namecheap panel is very similar to AMPPS and they have same installer for scripts. So if you follow those steps, probably you will not need other tutorials, and also , you can contact me any time if you have any questions and problems and i will try to respond as soon as i can.
