How to set up a WordPress site

WordPress is an easy-to-use tool that helps build a blog website.

To start, log into your cPanel. To find the WordPress app, either scroll down to the bottom of your cPanel page or enter "apps" in the search bar. Under the Softaculous apps installer, you will see the WordPress icon. Click on it and you will be taken to the WordPress installation page.

Installation page

The next page contains information on WordPress. Feel free to navigate the features, screenshots, and demos if you'd like a better understanding of what WordPress can do for your site. Once you are ready, click "Install now".
