This tutorial explains how to install WordPress in cPanel and launch your website. WordPress is a popular platform for blogs, business websites, portfolios and online stores.
With CybroHost Shared Hosting, users get cPanel access, SSL support and hosting tools that make website setup easier.
Step 1: Log in to cPanel
Open your hosting client area and log in to cPanel. Look for a WordPress installer, Softaculous or a similar app installer depending on your hosting setup.
Step 2: Choose WordPress
Click WordPress and select Install. You will be asked to choose the domain where WordPress should be installed.
Step 3: Select HTTPS
Choose the HTTPS version of your domain if SSL is active. HTTPS helps protect visitors and improves trust.
Step 4: Create Admin Login Details
Create a secure username and strong password. Do not use admin as your username. Use a real email address so you can recover access if needed.
Step 5: Choose Site Name
Enter your website name and description. You can change these later inside the WordPress dashboard.

Click Install and wait for the process to complete. After installation, log in to your WordPress dashboard and choose a theme.
