Congratulations on choosing GreenHost.Cloud as your web hosting server! In this guide, we will walk you through the process of installing WordPress, the world’s most popular content management system (CMS), on your server. Regardless of your technical expertise, these step-by-step instructions will have you up and running with WordPress in no time. Let’s dive in!

Step 1: Meet the System Requirements
Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that your web hosting server meets the minimum requirements for running WordPress. These may include PHP version, MySQL database, and server software compatibility. GreenHost.Cloud typically includes all the necessary components, but it’s always good to double-check.

Step 2: Access Your Server’s Control Panel
Log in to your GreenHost.Cloud account and navigate to the control panel. This is where you can manage various aspects of your web hosting environment. Locate the section that houses the “File Manager” or “FTP” options. These tools will be essential for the installation.

Step 3: Download the Latest WordPress Version
Visit the official WordPress website (wordpress.org) and download the latest version of WordPress as a zip file. Save it to your local computer for now.

Step 4: Prepare Your Web Hosting Space
In the control panel, create a new directory where you want to install WordPress. Typically, this directory is named “public_html” or “www.” Make sure to note down the path, as you will need it during the installation process.

Step 5: Upload WordPress Files
Using the control panel’s File Manager or an FTP client, upload the previously downloaded WordPress zip file to the directory you just created. Once the upload is complete, extract the contents of the zip file within the same directory.

Step 6: Create a MySQL Database
Return to the control panel and find the section for creating MySQL databases. Follow the instructions to set up a new database and remember the database name, username, and password. These credentials will be crucial during WordPress installation.

Step 7: Install WordPress
In your web browser, enter your domain name, followed by the directory path where WordPress is installed (e.g., www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin/install.php). WordPress will guide you through a simple installation process.

Step 8: Configure WordPress Settings
After the installation, you will be prompted to set up basic configuration settings such as your website’s title, admin username, password, and email address. Fill in the requested information and proceed.

Step 9: Explore Themes, Plugins, and Customizations
