You can install WordPress in a few minutes from cPanel. We recommend WordPress Toolkit when it is available on your plan — it also helps with updates, backups, and security afterward.
Method 1 (recommended): WordPress Toolkit
- Log in to cPanel (login guide).
- Open WordPress Toolkit and click Install.
- Choose the domain (and folder, if any). Prefer
https://as the protocol. - Set site title, admin username, password, and email. Avoid using
adminas the username. - Click Install and wait for confirmation.
- Open the site URL and the
/wp-adminlink shown when install finishes.
Method 2: Softaculous
- In cPanel open Softaculous Apps Installer.
- Choose WordPress → Install.
- Pick domain/directory, site name, and admin details → Install.
After install
- Point the domain at our nameservers if you have not already: How do I point my domain to 4GoodHosting?
- Turn on HTTPS: How do I force HTTPS?
- Keep WordPress, themes, and plugins updated (Toolkit can help).
