which provides a space, for storing
our website's files on the internet So to get a hosting account,

website's address which people can visit,
to go to your site So, I'm going to search
for 'tryshirts.com' which is the name of my
website and then click 'search' and, as you can see, the
domain name is available so let's click

wordpress content Okay! So, now let's go to the Final Part of this tutorial which is to bring-in the content, from the local site to this live website Okay! So to move the content from
the local site to the live website, We're going to do 3 things, First, we're going to install
a plugin on both of our websites Then, using the plugin we're going to export the contents
of the local site into a file Then finally, we're
going to bring that file, into our live site So first, let's install
the plugin on the local site So, let's go into our
localhost dashboard and then go to plugins and click 'Add New' Now, search for 'All in One' and then install
this plugin So, let's click 'install' and 'activate' Okay, So the plugin is installed on the local site Next, we're going to
install the same plugin on our live website So, let's go to the
wordpress dashboard on 'tryshirts.com' And then go to
plugins again click add new then search for 'All in One' and click 'install' and activate Okay! So, now the plugin is
installed on both of our websites So, now we can go to Step 2: Which is to Export
the Content of our Local Site So to export the
content of our local site let's go to our localhost dashboard And then go to 'All in
One WP Migration' and click 'Export' Now click 'Export to' and file Now click 'download' And the content will be
downloaded into a file and then click close Okay! So now, we've got the content of our local site into a file So, now we can go to
the final step, which is to import this
file into our Live website So, let's go to our Live Site's dashboard Then, go to All-in-One
WP Migration and click 'Import' Now click 'Import from' and click 'file' Now, choose the file which
you've downloaded and click 'open' Now click 'Proceed'
to start the import and then click 'close' and it's done! So, all our local site
content has been imported into 'tryshirts.com' So, let's check that We'll go to
'tryshirts.com' and reload the page So, you can see that all the
content has moved to our live site So, this is how you can
move your wordpress site from your computer
to a live website Now, if you want to login
to your wordpress site Just add '/login' after
your site's address, and press enter Now to log into wordpress,
you need to use your localhost's username & password So just enter the login
details of your local site, and then click login Okay! So now you can start making changes to your website and all the changes will appear on your live website There you go! This is how you can
