WordPress needs website files, a database, a database user, and a working domain with SSL.
Create
- Create the website/domain in the hosting panel.
- Create a database and database user.
- Upload WordPress files to the website document root, or use the installer if it is available for your account.
- Open the domain in a browser and follow the WordPress setup screen.
- Enter the database name, database username, database password, and database host.
- Create the WordPress administrator account using a strong password.
- Issue SSL for the domain and set the WordPress site URL to use
https://.
- Install only the plugins and themes you need.
If you are migrating an existing WordPress site, back up both files and database before replacing anything.
Manage
- Use the WordPress dashboard for posts, pages, media, plugins, themes, and users.
- Use WordPress Manager in CyberPanel if it is available on your account.
- Take a backup before updating plugins, themes, or WordPress core.
- Use File Manager only for careful fixes, uploads, or disabling a broken plugin/theme folder.
- Use phpMyAdmin only when you understand the database change or support asks you to export/import data.
Delete
- Export the WordPress database and download
wp-content if you may need the content later.
- Remove the WordPress site through WordPress Manager if that option is available.
- Delete WordPress files and the connected database only after the backup is confirmed.
- Remove unused FTP accounts, DNS records, and email addresses that were created only for this site.
- If your account cannot delete the website/subdomain, open a support ticket with the domain and deletion request.
Troubleshooting
- If the installer cannot connect to the database, recheck the database name, username, password, and host.
- If the site redirects to the old domain, update the WordPress Address and Site Address values.
- If the dashboard is blank after installing a plugin, disable the plugin through File Manager or ask support.
- If uploads fail, check disk space and folder permissions under
wp-content/uploads.
- If SSL warnings appear, confirm the certificate is issued and WordPress uses
https:// URLs.
