Detailed Steps On How To Install WordPress On Your Domain (Overview of the process)
Step 1: Go to your domain’s cpanel. To do this, go to your website name, and type in “/cpanel” at the end. For example, let’s say my website is pengjoonfitness.com. To go to my cpanel, I need to type it as “www.pengjoonfitness.com/cpanel” into my browser’s address bar and hit “Enter”.
Note: If you do not see the screen above (if you see an error message, for example), it probably means one of two things: 1. You might not have keyed in the page address properly, so check that the address in the address bar is correct.
2. It can take up to 24 hours for your website and hosting to link, so you might have to wait for a while.

Step 2: Enter your username and password (which can be found in the email from HostJill.com that was sent to you when you purchased a server at HostJill.com) and click on “Log In”. You’ll see this screen.
Scroll down to the section that says “Softaculous Apps Installer” and click on the WordPress icon.
Step 3: On the next screen, click on “Install”.
Step 4: On this screen, there’s only one thing you need to change. Go to the box for “In Directory”, highlight the text in the box, and delete it.
The rest of the info here, you can leave it as default. IMPORTANT: For the admin username and password, do NOT leave it as the default. Please come up with a different password and username that you can remember. For the password, it’s recommended that you think of one that is at least 8 characters long, and which contains a mixture of letters and numbers (even symbols, if possible). This is to prevent your WordPress account from being hacked and to increase security. When you’re done, click on “Install” at the bottom of the screen.
Step 5: Once it’s installed, you’ll see a message on the screen telling you it was done successfully.
If you want to check whether it was installed correctly, just go to “www.yourwebsitename.com/wp-admin”. So in my example, I would go to “www.pengjoonfitness.com/wp-admin”.
Type in your username and password and log in.
Step 6: You’ll see your WordPress Dashboard, which will look something like this.
