In cPanel you install WordPress in a few clicks, without uploading files or creating a database yourself. You log in with Login to Panel (see cPanel: Logging in).

With WP Toolkit

1. Go to Domains → WP Toolkit.
2. Click Install.
3. Choose the domain and, if you want, a folder (leave it empty for the site to open on the main domain).
4. Enter the title, admin username, password and email, and choose the language.
5. Click Install. WordPress is ready shortly.

From WP Toolkit you also handle updates, security settings and copies of your site.

With Softaculous

If your cPanel shows Softaculous Apps Installer, you can install WordPress from there too: choose WordPress → Install Now, fill in the same details and click Install.

After installing

• You reach the admin area at https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin.
• Put your site on HTTPS: see cPanel: WordPress on HTTPS.
• If you see an error, see WordPress: "There has been a critical error" and WordPress: upload_max_filesize error.
