1. Introduction: What You Need Before Starting the Installation Process
Before embarking on installing WordPress, you need two fundamental elements: a domain name representing your digital identity, and a web hosting package supporting PHP and MySQL databases.
Maria Deprma Tip: Always make sure to choose fast, secure hosting that supports one-click installation to save time and guarantee top performance for your store or site.
2. Practical Steps to Install WordPress via cPanel Control Panel
The easiest and most common way to install WordPress is by using auto-installer tools available on hosting, such as Softaculous:
- Logging In: Access your hosting control panel (e.g., cPanel).
- Selecting Installer: Look for the WordPress icon or the quick installation tool (Softaculous Apps Installer).
- Entering Site Details: Specify the domain name, site title, WordPress dashboard username and password, then click “Install”.
3. Manual Installation vs. One-Click Quick Installation
While beginners prefer quick auto-installation for its ease and speed, developers sometimes resort to manual installation (uploading WordPress files via FTP and manually creating a MySQL database) to grant the site extra layers of custom security and precise structural control.
Important Note: Always ensure you save your database details and passwords in a secure place after completing the installation process to prevent data loss.

5. Important Steps Immediately After Installation Completion
Once WordPress installation is finalized, it is recommended to take essential steps including: updating Permalinks settings, installing an SSL security certificate, configuring security and backup plugins, and removing unnecessary default plugins or themes.
6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does installing WordPress require paying platform fees?
