If you’ve decided to use WordPress you may be confused on how to use your WordPress hosting.  Luckily there are only two scenarios here.

Some companies will have some program built into their hosting solution that will install WordPress for you. For example, some web hosting companies offer an administration tool called cPanel. CPanel has a program within it called Fantastico that is specifically for use in installing programs onto your server. These types of administrative programs will install your WordPress with the click of a button. This makes things extremely easy for you, allowing you to get working on your Word Press site faster.

In other hosting solutions, you will have to install WordPress yourself. This is easier than it sounds and can be done in about five minutes. If your site has PHP version 4.3 or greater and MySQL version 4.1.2 or greater, you can install WordPress. Your account will also have to have the mod_rewrite Apache module. If you are uncertain if your hosting company has these things, you can write to your service provider and ask.
