    Overview

    Every ZeHoster shared and WordPress plan includes Softaculous, a one-click app installer. You can have a fresh WordPress site running in under a minute — no FTP, no databases to create manually.

    Step-by-step

    1. Log in to cPanel from your ZeHoster client area (Services → Manage → Login to cPanel).
    2. Scroll to the Software section and click Softaculous Apps Installer.
    3. Select WordPress and click the blue Install Now button.
    4. Choose your protocol (https:// recommended) and the domain you want to install on.
    5. Leave the In Directory field empty if you want WordPress on the root (e.g. yourdomain.com).
    6. Set your site name, admin username, strong password, and admin email.
    7. Click Install. After ~30 seconds you'll get login URLs for /wp-admin.
