Step 1: Installing WordPress Blogging Platform

Log in to your hosting's control panel. You can do this by visiting this URL
http://example.com:2082

Remember, visit your own domain name instead of example.com
This is the screen you will see:

Cpanel Login


Log in using the User Name and Password that was given to you by your hosting company, if you've forgotten your user name or if it's not working, the hosting company can easily email it back to you!

After you log in you will see this screen:

Cpanel Admin


Scroll down until you see the Software/Services box, and click on 'Softaculous'. 

Softaculous


Now find 'WordPress' under Blogs and Click on it.


Softaculous Screen


Now Click on Install.


WordPress Install


You will be taken to the WordPress installation configuration screen.
Clear the input box that says In Directory. You now only need to customize 5 of input the boxes bellow it using meaningful information.
