HELP GUIDE

Install WordPress

Softaculous in cPanel installs WordPress for you. It takes about five minutes. Point your domain to us first, so the install uses the right address.

Steps

  1. Log in to cPanel with the link and details from your welcome email.
  2. Find Softaculous Apps Installer and click WordPress.
  3. Click Install.
  4. Choose https:// and your domain. Leave the directory field empty to put the site at your main address.
  5. Enter your site name, an admin username, a strong password and your email address. Do not use “admin” as the username.
  6. Click Install and wait for the success message.
  7. Log in at yourdomain.com/wp-admin with the username and password you chose.

After the install

  • Install the free LiteSpeed Cache plugin from Plugins, Add New. It works with our LiteSpeed servers.
  • Delete themes and plugins you do not use. Fewer plugins means fewer things to update.
  • Keep WordPress, your theme and your plugins updated. Most hacked sites run old plugins.

If the install shows an error, email [email protected] with your domain and the error text.
