Introduction to WordPress and cPanel

WordPress is an incredibly useful, open-source CMS that properly creates and manages websites for different websites such as businesses, blogs, online stores, and personal portfolios. cPanel is one of the very best web hosting control panels and it brings in the added convenience of the tasks, such as file management, creating databases, and security configuration which are so simple that WordPress hosting has widely been chosen.

Besides that, we are going to take a look at two installation ways: Softaculous, which is automated, and manual installation.

Understanding WordPress

WordPress is a platform that permits users to manipulate their websites both on the backend and the frontend. The ability of WordPress to adapt to different environments has made it the base for many types of sites, such as corporate websites and online communities. WordPress is open-source software that permits anyone even if they are not cheaters to publish on the web.

Automated WordPress Installation with Softaculous

Softaculous offers a simple, one-click WordPress installation for cPanel users. Here’s how to set it up:

  1. Log in to your cPanel and find the Softaculous Apps Installer.
  2. Click on WordPress, then hit the Install button.
  3. Choose your domain and directory (leave blank for main domain installation).
  4. Set your database name and customize the table prefix.
  5. Configure site settings, then click Install to complete.

Softaculous will handle the setup and provide a link to your new site and dashboard.

Manual Installation of WordPress in cPanel

For more control over the setup, manual installation lets you tailor security and database settings. Follow these steps:

  1. Download WordPress: Download the latest WordPress version from the official site.
  2. Upload Files: In cPanel’s File Manager, upload and extract the WordPress ZIP file in your chosen directory.
  3. Create a Database: Go to MySQL Databases, create a new database, and save the details.
  4. Add Database User: Create a user with a strong password, then assign it to the database.
  5. Run the Setup: In your browser, go to your domain, select a language, and enter the database info. Complete the form and install WordPress.

This manual method gives added control over your setup and ensures greater security customization.

Conclusion

Both Softaculous and manual installations are the appropriate means to install WordPress on cPanel. Whether you find the one-click installer to be extremely user-friendly or if you fancy the effort and accuracy of a manual installation, cPanel's tools will still assist you with the launch of your WordPress site.
