Most hosting providers that support WordPress provide access to cPanel, a user-friendly control panel that allows you to manage your hosting account. However, the exact method of accessing cPanel may vary depending on your hosting provider.

If you are unsure how to access cPanel, try the following:

• Look for a cPanel login button inside your hosting provider’s account dashboard;
• Check your welcome email from the hosting company, as it may contain the direct cPanel login link;
• Contact the support team of your hosting provider for assistance;

Once you have accessed cPanel, you will see a dashboard with various tools and settings that allow you to manage your hosting environment. From here, we will proceed with installing WordPress.

Inside cPanel, we will use Softaculous, an automated installer that simplifies the WordPress installation process.

To install WordPress manually, follow these steps:

1. In cPanel, scroll down to Software → WordPress Manager by Softaculous;
2. Click Install;
3. Choose your Domain Name;
4. Set your Site Name & Description;
5. Create an Admin Username & Password (this will be used to log into WordPress);
6. Uncheck all plugins and extended settings that are pre-selected;
7. Select the Language for your WordPress installation;
8. Enter the email address where you want to receive your WordPress credentials;
9. Click Install and wait for confirmation.

Once the installation is finished, Softaculous will provide a WordPress login link, where you can access your website’s admin panel.

Once the installation is complete, you can log into your new WordPress site by going to: yourwebsite.com/wp-admin.

In this tutorial, the purchased domain is wpcoursebasic.com. To access WordPress, you would type: wpcoursebasic.com/wp-admin.

This will take you to the WordPress login screen, where you need to enter the Admin Username & Password created during installation. After entering your credentials, click Login to access the WordPress Dashboard, where you can start managing and customizing your website.
