Install WordPress using cPanel
Introduction:
WordPress is one of the most popular Content Management Systems (CMS) in the world, powering millions of websites. It is a user-friendly platform that can be easily installed and customized even by non-technical users. Installing WordPress on your hosting account is easy and straightforward, and in this article, we will guide you on how to install WordPress using cPanel, a web-based control panel that is widely used by web hosting providers.
Step 1: Access cPanel
To install WordPress using cPanel, you need to first access your cPanel account. This can be done by logging in to your Infinity Domain Hosting account and clicking on the "cPanel" button in the "Hosting Account" section. Alternatively, you can access cPanel by typing "yourdomain.com/cpanel" in your web browser, replacing "yourdomain.com" with your actual domain name.
Step 2: Navigate to the Softaculous App Installer
Once you are logged in to cPanel, scroll down to the "Software" section and click on the "Softaculous App Installer" icon. Softaculous is a one-click installer that allows you to install various applications, including WordPress, with just a few clicks.
Step 3: Find and Select WordPress
In the Softaculous App Installer, you will see a list of available applications on the left-hand side. To find WordPress, simply click on the "WordPress" icon or search for "WordPress" using the search bar.
Step 4: Configure WordPress Installation
After selecting WordPress, you will be taken to the installation page. Here, you will need to configure a few settings before installing WordPress. These settings include:
Choose the domain you want to install WordPress on. If you have multiple domains associated with your hosting account, you can choose the one you want to use for your WordPress site.
Select the protocol you want to use. This can be either HTTP or HTTPS, depending on whether you have an SSL certificate installed or not. At Infinity Domain Hosting, we offer a free SSL certificate for all our customers.
Choose the directory where you want to install WordPress. If you want to install WordPress on your main domain (e.g. yourdomain.com), leave this field blank. If you want to install WordPress in a subdirectory (e.g. yourdomain.com/blog), enter the name of the subdirectory here.
Enter the site name and description for your WordPress site. This can be changed later from the WordPress dashboard.
Choose an admin username and password for your WordPress site. This will be used to log in to your WordPress dashboard.
Choose a language for your WordPress site. WordPress supports multiple languages, and you can change the language later if needed.
Step 5: Install WordPress
Once you have configured the settings for your WordPress installation, click on the "Install" button to start the installation process. Softaculous will automatically install WordPress on your hosting account, and you will be provided with a link to your WordPress site and a link to your WordPress dashboard.
Step 6: Log in to Your WordPress Dashboard
To access your WordPress dashboard, click on the link provided by Softaculous after the installation process is complete. This will take you to the WordPress login page, where you can enter your admin username and password that you chose during the installation process.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed WordPress using cPanel!
