Install apps with Softaculous

Guide from WordPress & apps — written for Canadian customers. Billing always in CAD.

WordPress & apps

Softaculous is the one-click installer in cPanel (hundreds of scripts — WordPress, Joomla, and more). It is included on our Linux cloud plans (Softaculous hosting overview).

Install an app

  1. cPanel → Softaculous Apps Installer.
  2. Pick an application → Install.
  3. Choose domain and directory (/ for the main site, or a subfolder).
  4. Set admin username/password (not admin).
  5. Install → bookmark the admin URL Softaculous shows.

Manage later

Softaculous can back up, restore, and upgrade installs it manages. For WordPress, prefer WordPress Toolkit when available.
