How to Install WordPress in C-Panel – Step by Step Guide

What You'll Learn

It’s very easy to install WordPress on C-Panel. C-Panel is a common software system that comes with many hosts.  It sometimes looks a bit different. For example, Siteground has incorporated most of the C-Panel information into its hosting to make it easier to use.  That’s one of the reasons that they are one of our top recommendations. C-Panel is nice because it is consistent and works really well. Unfortunately, each host makes some customizations, so it may look a little bit different on your host.

Getting Started on How to Install WordPress in C-Panel

Before you get started, it will help to know the name of your WordPress. The installation will ask you for that and your email when it installs WordPress on C-Panel.

Log Into C-Panel

First, you need to log into your C-Panel. You can directly login to your Cpanel account.  This varies a little bit by your host.  You can almost always get to it by logging into your host.  Another common way to get to C-Panel is to go to your domain followed by :2083, so it would be https://www.yourdomain.com:2083.
