Thanks to Fantastico, installing WordPress is now a breeze. First, login to your Cpanel account (the details to do so are in the Welcome Email that you received when you first signed up). Once you're in Fantastico, look for WordPress under the "Blogs" category:
You will now see a description of WordPress and what it does, and of any installations that you might have, if any. Verify that you have enough space, and then click on the New Installation link.
You will now come to a configuration page.
Install on domain: Choose the domain on which you want to install WordPress
Install in Directory: Leave this blank if you want Wordpress to be installed in the root of the domain. For example, when you leave it blank, you will access Wordpress at http://www.yoursite.com/ . If you want to specify a different directory, type it into this field. For example if you type in “blog”, the url will then be http://www.yoursite.com/blog/ .
Now choose the admin username and password to access and administer your WordPress installation.
In the base configuration section, enter the following information:
Admin nickname: The name you want to display for the admin account.
Admin e-mail: The email address of the admin
Site name: What you want to name your blog
Description: What your site is about.
Finally, for the email configuration, this will be an email address that you've set up. If you're using an email address hosted by us, enter in these details. If this account doesn’t already exist, Fantastico will create it for you on your domain.
Email Account Username: The full email address
Email Account Password: The password to that email account
POP/SMTP Server: mail.yourdomain.com
POP/SMTP Port: 110
Done? Now click on the Install WordPress button!
The installation will tell you what updates have been made. Click the Finish Installation button.
The installation is finished. You have the option to email the details of the installation to someone, or return to the overview.
Once your return to the Wordpress Overview page, you will see that you have Wordpress install in the “Current Installations” section. Click the Visit Site button to view your new site.
