In Feburary 2016 11,
Log in to your 1and1 control panel and click the hosting package on which you want to install WordPress.
Click “MySQL” under the Database heading on the hosting panel and then select “MySQL Database.”
Enter a description for your new database in the field provided. Something as simple as “WordPress Database” is fine, provided you only plan to have one iteration of WordPress installed on your 1and1 account.
Create a password for the database in the “Password” field and then verify it in the “Repeat Password” field. Make a note of this password as you will need it when installing WordPress.
Click “Set Up” to finish creating your database. When creation is complete, 1and1 displays the details of your database, including the database name and username. Make a note of both of these values as you will need them when installing WordPress.
Installing Wordpress
Download the latest version of WordPress onto your computer and extract its contents to your desktop or another memorable location.
Upload the contents of the extracted WordPress folder to the location on your 1and1 server where you want WordPress to appear. If you don’t have FTP software, a number of free options are available, including FileZilla, SmartFTP and CoreFTP.
Update your 1and1 destination folder so that it points to WordPress. Log in to the 1and1 control panel, select the hosting package associated with WordPress and then select “Domain Center” on the Domains control panel. Place a check mark in the box next to the domain you want to use with WordPress and then click the “Edit Destination” button. Select the “Webspace” radio button, click the arrow icon located under the Target Directory field and select the folder into which you uploaded WordPress. Click “Save” when you are finished.
Wait at least 15 minutes for 1and1’s servers to adopt your domain changes.
Open a new browser tab or window and visit the domain associated with WordPress. This is the domain you just pointed to your WordPress destination folder.
Click “Create a Configuration File” and then click “Let’s Go” to initiate the configuration process.
Enter your WordPress database name, username and password in the provided fields. These are the values you noted earlier when creating your database.
Click “Submit” and then press the “Run the Install” button.
Fill out the Five-Minute-Install form and press the “Install WordPress” button to finish installing WordPress. For security purposes, the username and password you create here should be different from those associated with your database. These will be the username and password you use whenever you log in to WordPress.
