Here&#8217;s a Guide to Uploading Your Website on Cpanel <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p> Are you puzzled by WordPress? Don&#8217;t worry; you&#8217;re not alone! WordPress is one of the most popular website creation platforms worldwide because of its ease of use and simplicity. It&#8217;s an ideal platform for both beginners and experts. If you&#8217;re planning to launch your website on WordPress, you need to know how to upload it to your hosting provider&#8217;s Cpanel. In this article, we&#8217;re going to take a bursty, step-by-step approach to help you upload your WordPress website in Cpanel. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose_a_Hosting_Provider\"><\/span> Choose a Hosting Provider: <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p> First things first, you need to choose the right hosting provider for your WordPress website. With so many web hosting services available today, picking the best option can be mind-boggling. However, Bluehost, SiteGround, and HostGator are some of the affordable providers with a variety of features for you to choose from. <\/p>\n<p> Once you&#8217;ve made a choice, purchase a web hosting plan and register a domain if you haven&#8217;t already. Some hosting providers offer to register a domain for you, so check that it&#8217;s included in your purchase if you need it. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Log_in_to_Your_Cpanel\"><\/span>Log in to Your Cpanel: <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Access your Cpanel by typing your web address followed by &#8220;\/cpanel.&#8221; For example, if your web address is www.abcd.com, you would type www.abcd.com\/cpanel. Then, enter your login credentials and you will be directed to the Cpanel dashboard.  <\/p>\n<p> Scroll down the dashboard until you spot the &#8220;File Manager&#8221; option and click on it to proceed. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_a_New_Directory\"><\/span> Create a New Directory: <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p> Keep your files organized by creating a dedicated folder for your WordPress installation. This step helps you avoid overwriting any existing files in your directory. <\/p>\n<p> To make a new directory, click on the &#8220;New Folder&#8221; option and give it a name. Use something descriptive like &#8220;WordPress&#8221; or &#8220;My Site.&#8221; <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Download_WordPress\"><\/span> Download WordPress: <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p> Now it&#8217;s time to download the WordPress files to your computer. You can download the latest version of WordPress for free from WordPress.org. Extract the files to a folder on your computer after downloading them. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Upload_WordPress\"><\/span> Upload WordPress: <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p> To upload WordPress to your Cpanel, select the directory you created earlier and click on the &#8220;Upload&#8221; option. This opens a new window in which you can drag and drop the zipped WordPress files or &#8220;choose files&#8221; to upload them to your directory. <\/p>\n<p> After the upload, extract the files to the directory by right-clicking on the zipped WordPress files and selecting &#8220;Extract.&#8221; This procedure will make a new folder called &#8220;WordPress,&#8221; containing all necessary files and folders for your website. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_a_Database\"><\/span> Create a Database: <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p> Before installing WordPress on your hosting provider&#8217;s server, create a database. It&#8217;s the storage for all your website data, including posts, pages, and user data. <\/p>\n<p> Go back to the Cpanel and click on the &#8220;MySQL Databases&#8221; option. You can create a new database and a user account with the necessary permissions. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Install_WordPress\"><\/span>Install WordPress: <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p> With WordPress in your Cpanel, and your database ready, you can proceed to install WordPress. Enter your website&#8217;s URL followed by &#8220;\/wp-admin\/install.php.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> A WordPress installation wizard will prompt you to enter your website&#8217;s name, username, and password. It will also prompt you to connect to your database. After you enter the database information, click on &#8220;Submit,&#8221; and WordPress installs on the server. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Set_up_Your_WordPress_Site\"><\/span> Set up Your WordPress Site: <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p> With WordPress installed, you&#8217;re now set to customize your site. You can select a theme by going to Appearance > Themes in your WordPress dashboard. <\/p>\n<p> Remember to add essential plugins, including SEO, social sharing, and caching plugins to improve your site&#8217;s performance. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span> Conclusion: <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p> Though uploading a WordPress website to a hosting provider&#8217;s Cpanel may seem daunting, it&#8217;s not. These simple steps ensure you do it easily and quickly. Before you begin, select the right hosting provider, register your domain, and download and extract the WordPress files to your computer. <\/p>\n<p> Ensure you create a new directory in your Cpanel for your WordPress installation, upload the files to the directory, create a database, and install WordPress. With WordPress installed, customizing your site by selecting a theme and adding essential plugins makes your website ready. <\/p>\n<p> Finally, congratulations, you now have a WordPress website! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perplexed by WordPress?
