Creating a Web Store using Joomla! 1.5, VirtueMart and using GoDaddy.com as hosting service.

1.- Download Joomla! 1.5 full package or latest stable from:
http://www.joomla.org/download.html
Note location where the ZIP file has been downloaded!

2.- Download VirtueMart latest stable from:
http://virtuemart.net/

3.- Get an account at GoDaddy.com
You have several options. GoDaddy.com offers free hosting but to set Joomla! you need php and mySQL support which GoDaddy.com offers for a monthly fee.

Details on setting up a GoDaddy.com account will be in another post!

After GoDaddy account has been correctly setup, upload Joomla! zipped file to the root directory of your domain host.

The type your domain in browser and the installation process will start.
