Once in a while I find a Bludomain hosting account that does not have Fantastico enabled, making it not possible to set-up WordPress on Bludomain following my illustrated how-to guide from last week.
What happens is when you click on the Fantastico icon you will get a screen that reads something like this -
“Fantastico is not installed at the default location /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/fantastico. Either move the Fantastico directory from it’s current location to /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/fantastico OR enable ioncube loaders in WHM -> Tweak settings.”
I am not sure why some Bludomain hosting accounts have this variation, but that does not mean that WordPress cannot be hosted in your Bludomain hosting, just that the install will need to be done manually.
Manually means creating the MySQL database and then transferring the WordPress files via FTP. Here is the detailed instructions on how to do it -

WordPress works just as well on Bludomain regardless of it being an automatic or manual install.
If you have this situation of Bludomain not having the Fantastico automatic install on your hosting account and want help to install WordPress manually, let me know. I can usually do it the same day and my charge is nominal.
