Overview: How to install your website (blog, portal, shop online,...) with Open Source CMS

Choose one CMS and follow all steps to install one CMS:

Step 1: Create your hosting
You can use some free hosting, but i think you should buy a host, just some USD per month.

Step 2: Download the CMS code (and extract it if compressed), and upload it to hosting (often using FTP)

Step 3: Access to the CMS index file, it often redirect to the installer file.

Step 4: Enter the information to install CMS:
