TL;DR

Quick Summary: Installing WordPress manually is old news. Use the Softaculous Apps Installer in your control panel to set up your site, database, and admin account in just a few clicks.

Step 1: Log in to your Control Panel

Access your AmanaFlow hosting account and navigate to your control panel (cPanel). Search for the Softaculous Apps Installer icon.

Step 2: Select WordPress

Inside Softaculous, you will see WordPress at the top of the "Top Scripts" list. Click Install.


Step 3: Software Setup

  • Choose Protocol: Always select https://.
  • Choose Domain: Select the domain you want to install WP on.
  • In Directory: Leave this blank if you want the site on your main domain (e.g., amanaflow.com).

Step 4: Site Settings

Provide your Site Name and Site Description. You can change these later in the WordPress settings.


Step 5: Admin Account (Important!)

  • Admin Username: Do NOT use "admin". Use a unique name for security.
  • Admin Password: Use a strong combination of letters, numbers, and symbols.
  • Admin Email: Use an email you check regularly for system notifications.

Step 6: Choose Language & Plugins

Select your preferred language. We recommend checking the Limit Login Attempts plugin for added security.


Step 7: Finalize Installation

Click the Install button. Within 60-90 seconds, you will receive two links:

  1. Your website URL.
  2. Your administrative URL (typically yourdomain.com/wp-admin).
