  • If you are unsure of which domain or directory to install Wordpress in, you can leave the default settings.
  • If you want to install Wordpress in a subdirectory, such as /Wordpress, you will need to create the subdirectory first. You can do this using the File Manager in cPanel.
  • Make sure to choose a strong password for your Wordpress administrator account.
  • You can change the site name and description of your Wordpress website later on.
