How to Install WordPress in 1-Click
WordPress is the most popular Content Management System (CMS) in the world, powering over 40% of all websites on the internet. With YallHost, installing WordPress is incredibly easy thanks to our 1-Click Installer.
Step-by-Step WordPress Installation Guide
Step 1: Log in to cPanel
First, log in to your cPanel account via your YallHost Client Area.
Step 2: Find the Software Installer
Scroll down to the bottom of the cPanel dashboard to the Software section and click on Softaculous Apps Installer (or WordPress Manager by Softaculous).
Step 3: Select WordPress
In the Softaculous dashboard, locate the WordPress logo and click the Install button.
Step 4: Configure the Installation Settings
You will need to fill out a brief form to configure your new WordPress site:
- Choose Installation URL: Select the protocol (choose https:// if you have an SSL certificate) and the domain where you want to install WordPress. Leave the "In Directory" field blank if you want it installed on the main domain.
- Site Settings: Enter your Site Name and Site Description (you can change these later).
- Admin Account: Create a secure Admin Username and Admin Password. Enter your real email address in the Admin Email field, as this will be used for password resets and notifications.
- Choose Language: Select your preferred language for the WordPress dashboard.
Step 5: Complete the Installation
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the Install button.
Softaculous will now install WordPress on your domain. The process usually takes less than a minute. Do not close the window until the progress bar reaches 100%.
Accessing Your New WordPress Site
Once the installation is complete, you will see a success message with two URLs:
- Your website URL (e.g., https://yourdomain.com)
- Your Administrative URL (e.g., https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin)
Click on the Administrative URL to log in to your new WordPress dashboard using the username and password you created in Step 4.
