unable to open https://localhost:26731

Do you have a Linux hosting account that you can test with? Installing WP on a standard host account is easy through the control panel (using Fantastico) and, here’s the point, it would eliminate any issues on your PC as part of the problem.

So, I am getting a bit confused about this
1) Do I need to pay money (at the moment) to be able to use Fantastico.

2) I have now obtained a USERNAME with NETEMBERG.COM

3) Is my CPanel associated with WORDPRESS,if so how do I acess this?

Many thanks for replying.

Newbee, you said that you are trying to build locally on your computer right? You need to download and install a local server enviroment like Xampp or Wamp You can decide which one suits you best. I personally use xampp https://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

Props to Wayne for sending you valuable links, but I think that with your current skill level, you needs fewer things to worry about.

If you have a hosting account with GoDaddy, HostGator, or a similar company that provides a full CPanel for you, you have the use of Fantastico for free as part of the host account. Fantastico will allow you to install WordPress (and a lot of other software) with just a few clicks.

Once you have it installed, you log into the back end using this kind of web address: https://yoursitename.com/wp-login.php

I could not find a “NETEMBERG.COM” or “NETEMBERG” using Google, so I don’t know what to tell you about them.

You should be able to access your cpanel account at:

https://yourwebsite.com/cpanel

You’ll use that mainly for access to a file manager, backups, and configuring email accounts.

Once you get your live site going, I would recommend trying to do a local install on your PC by installing XAAMP and then installing WordPress. It will take a few hours and some reading, but you’ll learn quite a bit and can test things on a local site before making changes to your live account.

Good Luck!
