- When it finishes, you reach the admin area at
https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin.
Manual installation#
- Create a database: New MySQL database.
- Download WordPress from wordpress.org and upload the ZIP to
public_htmlusing File Manager, then Extract. - Open your domain in a browser and follow the wizard: enter the database details (host
localhost).
After installation#
- Check that HTTPS is enabled: Forcing HTTPS.
- Enable automatic updates and make backups: Updating WordPress.

If the site does not display, see WordPress white screen. The number of WordPress installations depends on your plan.
