How to set up Cloud WordPress Hosting

A third of the web uses WordPress, from hobby blogs to the biggest news sites online. We offer a robust custom WordPress hosting environment, with security and performance as our number one priority. Here's how to get started:

Note

We recently migrated from our Easy WordPress solution to an upgraded and modernized Cloud WordPress hosting environment. Feel free to contact our support team if you're concerned about how much faster your site is now.

1: Log in. You should arrive at the Domain Management screen. If you're already logged in, click on ACCOUNT in the top-right corner and select Domain Management.

2: Locate the domain you're adding WordPress hosting to. To the right of that domain name, click on the house icon under the "Website" column.

3: Look for the "Cloud WordPress" hosting plan and click on "Select A Plan":

4: On the next screen, choose how you would like to be billed. You'll save some money if you choose annual billing. Regardless of the plan you choose, clicking the "Start Trial" link will automatically begin a 15-day free trial.

5: Once the Cloud WordPress Hosting account is created you'll be taken to an account details page. You may access the WordPress admin panel, change your subscription tier, or cancel the hosting service from this page.

You'll be given default credentials you can use to log in. We'll only display these to you once, so take note of them. You can also change the WordPress password on the same page if needed.

6: To access your WordPress admin panel and begin building your site, you just need to click on "Login" then enter your username and password from the previous step.

You can also use the "Direct Admin Login" button to bypass the username and password and just get logged in directly from your Porkbun account!

That's it! Your WordPress installation should be ready to start blogging. Any changes you make and publish should show up on your site automatically. If you're new to building WordPress websites, we'd recommend checking out https://learn.wordpress.org/ for some excellent guides and tutorials.
