I never knew some one might be interested in getting out from word press. After some resesearch i finally get things done and discover it was freally eaasy to go by. My client hosting account was on hostagator. Hosgator is a wen hosting company with head quarter in Houston Texas, USA. The company is one of the best  hotsing companies in the world offering a variety of hosting options .

This company is eqaully known for word press hosting as it offers a hosting package called word press hosting. Other hosting plan equally have word press hosting with the qucik installation option. So the screen shots i will share with you here are based on the host gator cpanel.

In the same way you can as well do this with Blue host and some other hosting which provides a cpanel similar to that of hostagator. In this post, we are going to see how to uninstall word press from hostgator in a simple manner with screen shots to help you.
