Open cPanel for the hosting service and check whether a supported WordPress installation tool is available. If an installer is provided, follow its prompts to select the domain, installation location, administrator details and other requested settings.
If installing WordPress manually, obtain WordPress from its official source, upload the files to the intended document root, create a MySQL database and database user, and complete the WordPress installation process in the browser.
Choose a strong administrator password and an administrator username that is not easily guessed. Use an email address you control for important site notifications and recovery.
Install WordPress only in the directory where you want the site to appear. Installing into an unintended subfolder changes the resulting website URL.
After installation, keep WordPress core, themes and plugins updated. Remove unused plugins and themes that you do not need.
