Seamless WordPress Installation: A Guide to ServerByt Hosting

Seamless WordPress Installation: A Guide to ServerByt Hosting

Getting your website live is fast and easy when you combine robust hosting with the world’s most popular Content Management System (CMS), WordPress.

This step-by-step guide will walk you through installing WordPress on your ServerByt hosting account, from verifying domain readiness to accessing your new administrative dashboard.

Step 1: Verify Domain and Nameserver Propagation

Before starting the installation, you must ensure your domain name is correctly pointed to your ServerByt hosting.

A. Access Your ServerByt Control Panel

1. Log into your ServerByt dashboard.
2. Navigate to the control panel by clicking “Log to control panel” [00:13].
3. In the control panel, go to the Domain section to confirm the target domain (e.g., mummymart.net) has been successfully added to your hosting package [00:32].

B. Check Nameserver Propagation

If you recently updated your domain’s nameservers (e.g., in your GoDaddy account) to point to ServerByt, you must verify the changes have been finalized globally.

• Use a tool like MX Toolbox SuperTool and perform a Whois Lookup [00:58].
• Type your domain name into the search bar.
• The results should display the ServerByt nameservers you added previously, confirming successful propagation [01:09].

Step 2: Install WordPress via ServerByt

Once propagation is confirmed, you can use the hosting provider’s automated installer (often called Softaculous or similar) to set up WordPress.

1. Locate the Installer: Return to the ServerByt control panel home screen. Scroll down and find the Click installs section [01:51].
2. Select WordPress: Type “WordPress” in the search box and click the WordPress icon to start the installation wizard [02:01].
3. Configure Installation:
   • Choose Domain: Select the domain you want to install WordPress on.
   • Directory: Specify the folder name (if desired, like the one created when the domain was added) [02:16].
4. Execute Installation: Click “Install WordPress”. The process may take up to a minute to complete [02:25].

Step 3: Finalize WordPress Setup and Login

After the automated installation finishes, you will be given a link to complete the final configuration steps.

1. Language and Details: Click the provided link for your main domain. This will launch the WordPress setup screen.
2. Select Language: Choose your preferred language [02:48].
3. Site Information: Enter essential details such as your site title, desired username, and a strong password for your administrator account.
4. Complete Installation: Click “Install WordPress”.
5. Log In: Once the installation is successful, click “Log in”. Enter the administrator credentials you just created to access your WordPress Admin Portal (wp-admin) [03:01].

You can now start customizing your website, adding themes, plugins, and content!
