Easily create a WordPress site using app installers
Our cPanel hosting offers three ways to install WordPress. There are no major functional differences between our app installers, the three options are provided for personal preference.
You can also manually install WordPress using their official guide.
Installatron
- Log in to cPanel.
- Navigate to Installatron Applications Installer under the Software category.
- Click on the Applications Browser tab.
- Scroll down, and select WordPress.
- Click Install This Application.
- Fill out the form with your desired installation options
- Remember to note down the username and password in a secure place.
- Finally, click Install at the bottom right of the page.
Softaculous
- Log in to cPanel.
- Click the Softaculous Apps Installer icon under the Software category.
- On the WordPress option click Install.
- Complete the form as required;
- Choose the domain to install the site to.
- In Directory should be left blank unless you want the site to be under a certain folder.
- Ensure you set a strong admin password (greater than 60 strength).

WordPress Toolkit
- Log in to cPanel.
- Click on WP Toolkit under Domains.
