WebFulHost shared hosting includes a one-click WordPress installer, so you can have WordPress running in about two minutes — no command line and no manual file copying required. Here's the walkthrough.
Before you start
You need three things:
- An active WebFulHost hosting account.
- A domain pointed at WebFulHost (see How to Change Nameservers if yours isn't yet). You can also install WordPress on a subdomain first, like
preview.yourdomain.com. - Your cPanel login.
Install with the one-click installer
- Log into cPanel and scroll to the Software section.
- Open the one-click installer (often labelled WordPress Manager or a generic app installer, depending on your plan).
- Click Install for WordPress.
- Choose your domain from the list. Leave the directory field empty to install at the root (yourdomain.com) — enter
blogonly if you want it at yourdomain.com/blog. - Enter a site title, an admin username (never "admin"), a strong password, and your email address.
- Keep the default database settings and click Install.
Within a minute or two, you'll be given the WordPress admin URL and login. Write them down.
Log in for the first time
Visit yourdomain.com/wp-admin and enter the admin username and password you just created. See How to Log Into WordPress if it's not there.
Prefer installing manually?
Manual installs work identically to the one-click version underneath: download WordPress from the official site, upload the files to public_html with FTP, create a MySQL database and user, then run the installer at your domain. The one-click path handles all of that for you, so it's the recommended route.
