Every ZillionKingHost hosting plan includes the Softaculous auto-installer, which sets up a complete WordPress site in about a minute. You do not need to download anything or create a database yourself.
Steps
- Log in to your cPanel account (either from the Client Area under Services → My Services → Login to cPanel, or at https://yourdomain.com/cpanel).
- Scroll to the Software section and click Softaculous Apps Installer (or WordPress Manager by Softaculous).
- Click the WordPress logo, then click Install Now.
- Set Choose Protocol to https:// if your SSL certificate is already active, otherwise choose http:// and switch it later.
- Select your domain from the Choose Domain dropdown.
- Leave In Directory empty if you want the site to load at yourdomain.com. If you leave the default
wpin that box, your site will only be reachable at yourdomain.com/wp. - Fill in Site Name and Site Description — both can be changed later.
- Under Admin Account, choose a username that is not "admin" and use the key icon to generate a strong password. Enter a working email address; password resets are sent there.
- Click Install and wait for the progress bar to finish.
After installation
Softaculous shows two links: your site address and your admin address (yourdomain.com/wp-admin). Save the admin password somewhere safe, then log in and go to Settings → Permalinks, choose Post name, and click Save — this gives you clean URLs and correct rewrite rules.
If the installer reports that the directory is not empty, it means files already exist there. Either pick a different directory or remove the existing files first via File Manager.
