To add a new WordPress website to your hosting plan, follow the steps below 👇
Step 1 – Add a website to your hosting plan
In the Websites section, click on the Add website button of the desired hosting plan and select WordPress:
Step 2 – Create the WordPress login details
On the next step, enter the following information:
Select the preferred language for your WordPress admin panel
Specify the administrator email address
Create or generate a strong password
Step 3 – Select the website type
Select the alternative that suits your website most: online store, blog, portfolio, business, or other. This will help tailor the next steps.
Alternatively, you can choose to create a blank site and skip the personalization.
Step 4 – Select a theme
You will be presented with two options: generate a pre-built website or use a theme.
Pre-built websites will make the process easier as they are already made, and you will only need to adapt it to your brand and needs.
Step 5 – Select plugins
Choose the preferred plugins from the list of suggested ones and click on Next. Alternatively, you can skip this step for now and install plugins once your website is set up.
Step 6 – Use the AI Text Generator
Insert your brand name and a short description of your business, and the AI will help you create content for your website. Once you do that, click on Continue. Alternatively, you can skip this step for now and use the WordPress AI Assistant later.
Our AI Tools for WordPress are available with Web Business and cloud hosting plans 💡
Step 7 – Name your website
Specify the name (domain or subdomain) for your WordPress website. Here, you have the following options:
Use a domain you already own, either purchased at Hostinger or elsewhere. If registered at another provider, you will be required to point it to Hostinger.
Create a subdomain or use an existing subdomain from a domain you own.
Purchase a new domain.
If you want to skip this decision for now, click on Use a temporary domain, and click on Next.
After a few minutes, your WordPress installation will be completed, and you can start building your website using WordPress or go back to the control panel.
Step 8 – Access the WordPress dashboard
Once installation is complete, you will be able to manage your WordPress by going to the Websites section and clicking on Admin Panel:
Delete a WordPress website
If you wish to delete your WordPress installation and remove the website and associated emails from your hosting plan, we recommend you create and download a backup first. Then, go to the Websites section, click on the ellipsis ⋯ button, and select Delete:
