From a starter plan to a more robust Turbo plan, there's a plan for every type of project. Once you've made your selection, you're ready to dive into the setup process. Before You Begin: Change Your Name Servers
Remember to update your domain's name servers to NameSilo's hosting name servers to ensure your domain connects flawlessly to your WordPress site. We recommend doing this right after purchasing your hosting plan, as outlined in our "How to Change Nameservers" guide. This proactive step facilitates a smoother WordPress setup and domain integration.

Step 2: Access cPanel
After purchasing your hosting plan, navigate to the Hosting Manager from your NameSilo account dashboard. Here, you'll find access to cPanel, the heart of your hosting environment. If your setup is pending, give it about 5-10 minutes to complete.
Step 3: Locate WordPress in Applications
In cPanel, click on "Applications" from the left sidebar to explore the software available for installation. Search for "WordPress" in the application list.
Step 4: Begin WordPress Installation
Click on "Install" next to WordPress. You'll be prompted to fill in essential details for your WordPress site:
Domain Selection: Choose the domain where you want to install WordPress. Opt for the HTTPS version to enhance site security, especially if you're planning to install an SSL certificate.
Directory: Leave the directory option empty to install WordPress on the root of your domain, or specify a directory if you have a different site structure in mind.
Version Selection: Always select the latest version of WordPress to ensure you have the newest features and security updates.
Site Details: Enter your website's title and description, and create an admin username and password. These credentials will be your key to accessing the WordPress dashboard.
Keep the default settings for any other options and click 'Install'. The installation process will commence, transforming your hosting space into a ready-to-customize WordPress site.
