Set up in 1 minute just follow step
Log In To Your Namecheap cPanel Account
When you
purchased a hosting plan through Namecheap, you would have received an
email from Namecheap with your cPanel account credentials.
How to access the cPanel of your
website?
If
you have a
domain name associated with your Namecheap hosting plan – mydomain.com. Your cPanel can be accessed by mydomain.com/cpanel.
If you face
any issues while accessing the cPanel, you can log in to your Namecheap account
and go to the website cPanel from your dashboard. Thankfully, the system won’t
ask for the cPanel credentials when you follow this method.
Softaculous Apps Installer
Namecheap cPanel contains a Softaculous apps installer.
Scroll down the cPanel Homepage, you will find this.
This will
help you install WordPress and many other platforms like Joomla,
AbanteCart, PrestaShop, etc.
As our title
says, we will deal with the WordPress CMS for now. Click the WordPress icon, which you see in the Softaculous Apps installer section.
WordPress Installer
Now, you will get a page like the following one.
The page will show you every required information like the demo,
features, ratings, reviews, etc. Now, you will need to go to the installation
page.
Here you will find a list of sections to be filled out. Let me
discuss the essential areas. The first one is the Software setup section.
Here, you will choose the protocol, which is generally HTTP://
or HTTPS://. By default, you will find the HTTP:// selected.
You will be able to choose HTTPS:// only if you have an SSL for your site. (If you don’t have
an SSL, you can find cheap SSL providers from most trusted CAs)
most
WordPress hosting companies will give you free SSL certificates for their
clients. Namecheap got that feature too. So, using HTTPS is recommended. Google
is also considering SSL as a ranking factor.
Next, choose a domain for which you want to install the WordPress CMS.
If you need
to install WordPress on any directory, add the directory name here:
Enter the
site title and tagline.
We can always edit it later. You can always edit this later by logging in to
your WordPress admin area.
Now we have an essential step.
You will have
to set up the login details for the admin account. The following image shows
you the default id.
You must
create a strong password using the password generator (represented by key). Or, you can also enter a strong
password yourself.
Now, you will
be offered to install a plugin named Loginizer. This is a security plugin, and I recommend
installing this because this will help you keep your WordPress site safe from hackers.
To install just, click the checkbox shown below, and then enter the email id where you want to send your installation details. You
must keep this mail safe, as it contains your website details.
And then, finally, click Install.
That’s it.
You have successfully installed WordPress CMS on your Namecheap
hosting plan in a minute!! You can now access your WordPress website using
the URL format mydomain.com and the admin area by mydomain.com/wp-admin.
