What You'll Need

To get started with your WordPress blog, you'll need four or five basic things.

A Web hosting account with PHP version 4.3 and MySQL version 4.0 or later enabled.

An FTP client, such as FileZilla for Windows or CyberDuck for Mac, to simplify and accelerate the process of uploading the WordPress installation files to your hosting service.
