How to install WordPress
Install WordPress in a few clicks with Softaculous from cPanel or DirectAdmin.
- Log in to your control panel.
- Open Softaculous Apps Installer and choose WordPress.
- Choose Install.
- Pick the domain. Leave In Directory empty to install at the main address (yourbusiness.com) rather than a subfolder.
- Set the site name, and an admin username and a strong password. Don't use "admin" as the username.
- Choose Install. It takes about a minute.
You can then sign in at yourbusiness.com/wp-admin.
Before you install
- Make sure your domain points to your hosting, or the site won't be reachable yet.
- Your plan's free SSL certificate is issued automatically. If the site shows as "not secure" in the first hour, wait a little and reload.
Moving an existing WordPress site instead
We move sites for free. Open a support ticket with the site's address and your old host's details.
