How to install WordPress in Hostinger domain?

If you’ve purchased a domain and hosting from Hostinger, you can easily install WordPress and start building your website. Hostinger provides a beginner-friendly interface and an automatic WordPress installer to make the process fast and simple.

Below are the step-by-step instructions:

Step-by-Step Guide to Install WordPress on Hostinger

1️⃣ Log in to Your Hostinger Account

  • Go to https://www.hostinger.com and log in with the email and password you used while purchasing hosting and domain.
  • Once logged in, you’ll see the hPanel (Hostinger Panel), which is their custom control panel.

2️⃣ Choose Your Hosting Plan & Domain

  • On the hPanel dashboard, find the hosting plan you purchased and click Manage next to it.
  • If your domain is already connected to your hosting, you can proceed.
  • If not, you might need to point your domain to Hostinger’s nameservers (which Hostinger provides in their dashboard) and wait a few hours for DNS propagation.

3️⃣ Access the Auto-Installer

  • Inside the Hosting Dashboard, scroll down and look for the Website section.
  • Click on Auto Installer (sometimes called “Website Installer”).
  • In the list of apps, choose WordPress.

4️⃣ Fill in WordPress Installation Details

  • After selecting WordPress, you’ll be asked to fill out the following details:
    • Website title: The name of your site.
    • Administrator username: Choose a secure username for WordPress admin.
    • Password: Set a strong password.
    • Email address: Your admin email for WordPress notifications.
    • Language: Choose your preferred language.
    • Installation path: Leave it blank if you want WordPress to be installed on the root domain (e.g., www.yourdomain.com). If you want it in a subfolder (e.g., www.yourdomain.com/blog), specify the folder name.

5️⃣ Start Installation

  • Click the Install button.
  • Wait for a minute or two while Hostinger installs WordPress on your domain.

6️⃣ Access Your WordPress Site

  • Once the installation is complete, you’ll see a success message.
  • You can now visit your WordPress site by going to: arduinoCopyEdithttps://yourdomain.com or log in to the WordPress admin dashboard at: arduinoCopyEdithttps://yourdomain.com/wp-admin
  • Use the username and password you created during installation to log in.

Customize Your WordPress Website

    • Choose a theme (Appearance > Themes).
    • Install plugins for added functionality (Plugins > Add New).
    • Start creating pages and posts.

Tips for a Smooth Setup

✅ Always choose a strong admin password for security.
