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.
💡 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.

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.
