Installing WordPress

To start installing WordPress, do the following:

The wizard will guide you through the installation of WordPress. Below are our explanations and recommendations for choosing how you will install WordPress. Our recommended settings are chosen by default, but if you want to you can change them.

Location

The location means two things. The first is that the URL will be different, and the second means that the directory will be different.

Example:

• http://www.yourdomain.com – main root directory
• http://www.yourdomain.com/blog – sub folder directory

If you install WordPress in a subfolder, please enter your desired directory in the Directory (Optional) field in your WordPress installation wizard. This will create a separate URL and a folder in your hosting file manager that will contain your WordPress site.

Version

To select your WordPress Version do the following:

1. Leave the Version as Recommended.
2. Select the language.
3. Accept the EULA.
4. For Automatic Update we recommend selecting Upgrade to new minor versions and security releases. This will help keep your site safe.
