⚙️ Installing WordPress Using WordPress Management in cPanel

2 min read

If you’re hosting with Ozzietel, installing WordPress is a breeze thanks to the WordPress Management tool in cPanel. This built-in feature gives you a fast and easy way to install and manage your WordPress site — no need to mess with downloads, databases, or SFTP.


🧰 What You’ll Need #

  • ✅ An active cPanel hosting account with Ozzietel
  • ✅ A domain connected to your hosting
  • ✅ Access to your cPanel login details

🚪 Step 1: Log In to cPanel #

  1. Visit yourdomain.com/cpanel
  2. Enter your cPanel username and password (check your Ozzietel welcome email)
  3. In the Applications or Domains section, look for WordPress Management

📍 If you can’t find it, use the cPanel search bar and type “WordPress”.


🖥️ Step 2: Open WordPress Management #

  1. Click WordPress Management
  2. You’ll see a dashboard showing any existing WordPress installations
  3. Click Install to begin setting up a new WordPress site

🛠️ Step 3: Configure Installation Settings #

Fill out the form with your site details:

  • Domain: Choose the domain where WordPress will be installed
  • Installation Path: Leave this empty if you want the site on the main domain (e.g., yourdomain.com)
  • Site Title: Enter the name of your website
  • Admin Username: Choose a secure admin login (avoid using “admin”)
  • Admin Password: Use a strong, unique password
  • Admin Email: Add a valid email for recovery and notifications

Click Install once everything is filled out.

The installation usually takes less than a minute.


🔐 Step 4: Access Your WordPress Dashboard #

Once the install finishes, you’ll see a confirmation screen with your login link:

yourdomain.com/wp-admin

Log in using the admin username and password you just created.


🧩 What’s Next? #

From your WordPress Dashboard, you can:

  • Choose and customize a theme
  • Add plugins to expand your site’s features
  • Create pages, posts, menus, and more
  • Configure general settings like timezone, permalinks, and email

🧠 Tip: Bookmark your login link so you can quickly access your site admin area.
