Since Joomla is a database driven web application, installation can be the most challenging part of creating a successful website. People see installing Joomla as a complex task and it scares them away from it. While monitoring the Joomla community, Joomla Hosting Reviews saw the need for a set of reliable, easy to follow install guides. These guides have been put under analytical scrutiny to ensure the ease and simplicity is present in this documentation.
There are three methods of installing Joomla at Rochen, the built-in Joomla web installer, the Fantastico one-click installer, and Rochen’s own, Joomla Utilities.
The built-in web installer is the basic method to Install Joomla at Rochen.

Steven Johnson, Site Administrator for Joomla Hosting Reviews said, “We saw the need for detailed guides and videos and invested the time and effort to create detailed, easy-to-use tutorials that cover all essential points of a Joomla installation. We are hoping the Joomla web hosting community will be much better off because of this work.” Joomla Hosting Reviews has a long standing relationship with the Joomla community and a lot of it is experience in installing Joomla at different web hosts, “It (installing Joomla) has become better over the years, but the fundamentals are the same. We try to help the average person understand databases and directories in Joomla.”
