How to Install WordPress via Softaculous in Under 60 Seconds

Installing WordPress with Softaculous takes less than a minute and ensures optimal database prefixes, administrative security, and SSL configuration.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Launch Softaculous and select WordPress

In Softaculous, click the WordPress tile and click the blue 'Install Now' button.

2

Software Setup & Protocol

Select 'https://' as the protocol. Choose your domain from the dropdown. Leave the 'In Directory' field BLANK if you want WordPress installed on your main domain.

πŸ’‘ Pro Tip: If you enter 'wp' or 'blog' in the directory field, your site will load at yourdomain.com/wp instead of your root domain.
3

Set Admin Credentials

Enter an Admin Username (avoid 'admin') and a strong Password. Enter your active email address under Admin Email.

4

Select LiteSpeed Cache Plugin

Check 'LiteSpeed Cache' under Select Plugins for faster page loading. Actual improvement depends on theme, traffic and cacheability.

5

Click Install

Click Install at the bottom. Within 30 seconds, Softaculous completes the installation and displays your wp-admin login link.
