Knowledgebase

Short answer: in cPanel, open WordPress Management in the Domains section and start a new install for your domain. You'll set an admin username and password during the install.

Before you start

• You need an active hosting package with your domain pointing to us. See "Do I need web hosting for a WordPress site?".
• If there's already a website on the domain, installing WordPress in the same place can replace it. Ask us first if you're not sure.

Steps

1. Log in to cPanel. See "How do I log in to my hosting control panel (cPanel)?".
2. In the Domains section, click WordPress Management.
3. Choose to install WordPress.
4. Pick your domain. Leave the folder empty if WordPress should be your main site.
5. Enter your site name, an admin username, a strong password and your email address. Don't use "admin" as the username.
6. Start the install and wait for it to finish.
7. Log in to your new site. See "How do I log in to my WordPress admin?".

After installing

• Turn on HTTPS. See "How do I turn on HTTPS for my website?".
• Keep WordPress, your theme and plugins up to date. See "How do I update WordPress, themes and plugins safely?".

If it still doesn't work

Open a support ticket with your domain and the message you see. Never put a password in a ticket.

To send us the right details first time, see "How do I open a support ticket, and what should I include?".
