The only difference between installing WordPress yourself and going in for a WordPress auto install is that if you do the latter, the depth of understanding that you might gain about the software will be forfeited. Self install makes you aware of more functionality and gives you a thorough feel of the platform. Though in both cases you are free to use the various functionalities such as uploading capability that lets you upload and modify themes and plug-ins.
Self installation is not so complicated that a user would want to go for a WordPress auto install. All that happens in the self installing process is that you download the WordPress software and then using an FTP application, upload the WordPress files onto your host server. That's all there is to it. However there might be newbie's who are not used to the idea of servers and FTP's and might just want to go along with an auto install by the host. Most servers that offer hosting services are willing to do so and can install WordPress through the control panel and can even provide the same updates that are available on the official site.
For most small business users who are hard pressed for time and resources or those who are not familiar with installation procedures and lack the expertise to install the advanced online publishing system that WordPress is, auto installation is the ideal solution. Those who are scared out of their mind when they think about HTML codes and scripting and things like that are also ideal candidates to use WordPress auto install. There are many online resources that even coach users on how to go about it through tutorials and such. Whatever the complexity involved might be, WordPress being the best option available many would rather stick to this popular publishing platform than go elsewhere.
Wordpress auto installing is quite easy. It can be done within a few clicks even if the user is a dummy when it comes to having knowledge about PHP, MySQL and HTML codes. The first thing is to select a host that supports WordPress auto install feature. There are lists of such hosts that can be found online by doing a simple Google search. Automatic installation is usually done through the control panel that your host provides. Once you log in to your control panel and select WordPress to be installed, you can move on and find your domain name. Once you login into your domain using the admin name and password, the install process is just a click away. Clicking on the install WordPress button would be enough. It is quick and easy and takes about 5 to 10 minutes depending on how fast you are on your mouse or keyboard.
