Section 1: Setting Up WordPress Using cPanel

Step 1: Download the WordPress Zip File

Before you begin, head over to the official WordPress website (wordpress.org) and download the latest version of WordPress as a zip file. This file contains all the necessary files for your website.

Step 2: Upload the WordPress Zip File

Access your cPanel dashboard and locate the ‘File Manager’ option. Open it, and navigate to the ‘public_html’ directory, which is the root directory for your website. Click on the ‘Upload’ button and select the WordPress zip file you just downloaded. Once it’s uploaded, extract the files.

Section 2: Configuring the Database

Step 3: Create a Database

In cPanel, find the ‘MySQL® Databases’ option and click on it. Create a new database by entering a name and clicking ‘Create Database’. Remember to note down the database name as you will need it later.

Step 4: Create a Database User

Still within the ‘MySQL® Databases’ section, scroll down to ‘MySQL Users’ and create a new user. Fill in the details and click ‘Create User’. Make sure to note down the username and password.

Step 5: Assign User to Database

Next, go back to the ‘MySQL® Databases’ section and scroll down to the ‘Add User to Database’ option. Select the user and the database created earlier, and click ‘Add’.

Step 6: Configure WordPress

Open a web browser and navigate to your website’s domain name. You will see the WordPress installation wizard. Select your preferred language and click ‘Continue’. Enter the database information you noted down earlier and click ‘Submit’.

Step 7: Complete the Installation

On the next page, fill in your website title, username, and password. You can also provide your email address for important notifications. Once done, click ‘Install WordPress’.

Congratulations! You have successfully set up your WordPress website using cPanel. Now, you can start customizing your website and creating amazing content.
