Question:
ok… i’ve looked up many tutorials on how to install wordpress, and so far, the best one i’ve found so far is: http://www.5min.com/Video/How-to-Install-WordPress—fast–easy-96425056
around 0:41, he copies the files to his “host” which i think is wordpress, but i have no idea. i’ve been trying to search for the answer here on yahoo, google, etc. what exactly is this “host” and where can i find it? how do i get there?

If possible, please try to give a thorough explanation on how to do so :’)

Answer:

Ignore it.  You don’t need to download, upload or configure it.  And no, WordPress is not his host. WordPress is not a hosting company.

All you need is a web hosting account that already has the WordPress installer right in the control panel. WebHostingHub is the best WordPress host I’ve used.  No other host that I’ve used can match their performance.

After you get a Hub account, login to the cPanel control panel, scroll down to the Software / Services section and click on Fantastico De Luxe. The WordPress installer is in there. You’ll have a blog in just a few seconds.
