1. Installing WordPress From CPanel

Here’s a little tutorial to explain how to install WordPress if your host uses CPanel.

Log into your cpanel & go to the Software section:

Click on Fantastico & you should see something like this on the left hand side:

Click on WordPress

Then New Installation.

Fill in your own info, obviously.  As it says in the install directory section, leave empty to install in the root directory of the domain (access example: http://domain.com/). Enter only the directory name to install in a directory (for http://domain.com/name/ enter name only). This directory SHOULD NOT exist, it will be automatically created! Click Install WordPress.

The Finish Installation. You will get a page like this to confirm that you installed it correctly:

I would suggest email the details of the installation to your own email, just so you have it. And that’s it! You have installed WordPress!

Click the URL to the admin area & log in with the details you used to install WordPress.

Next I will tell you what you should do immediately after installing WordPress.
