Installing WordPress on 4xHost is quick and straightforward, with the process taking around 3-4 minutes. The actual installation time is approximately 60 seconds once all setup details are entered. Follow these steps to get started:
Log in to Your 4xHost cPanel Account: Access cPanel directly from your clients.4xhost.com client area under Services.
Open Softaculous Apps Installer: Scroll to the bottom of your cPanel page until you find Softaculous Apps Installer and click on it.
Select WordPress and Click Install Now:
- Choose WordPress from the list of applications and click Install Now.
Fill in Setup Details:
- Select the WordPress version you want to install.
- Choose the domain where WordPress should be installed.
- If installing on the root of your domain, remove any text (like 'wp') in the In Directory field, leaving it blank.
Choose a Theme (Optional):
- WordPress offers default themes to get you started. If you already have a theme, skip this section, as themes can be changed later.
Complete Installation:
Once all fields are filled, click Install. The installation will complete within 60 seconds.
Access WordPress Admin Area:
- To access the WordPress dashboard, enter
/wp-admin
after your domain in the browser (e.g., https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin).
