WordPress powers over 43% of websites<\/a> across the globe, making it one of the most popular Content Management Systems out there. If you have chosen website hosting VPS for your site, you are already on the right track. A VPS server gives you dedicated resources, better speed, and full control over your hosting environment.  <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The only question now is how to get WordPress up and running on it. This guide will walk you through the complete process in simple, easy-to-follow steps. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Before You Begin: Purchase Your Domain and VPS <\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The first thing you need to do is buy a domain name and a VPS hosting for WordPress<\/a> plan. Once you have purchased both, they will appear in your hosting control panel. From there, you can access your Server Management Panel, WHMCS, and cPanel all in one place. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When purchasing your VPS plan, you will be asked if you want to add a control panel. Options like cPanel and Plesk are available as add-ons. Choosing one makes the WordPress installation process much easier, especially if you are not very comfortable with the command line.

Simple Steps to Install WordPress on VPS Hosting <\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Method 1: Install WordPress on a VPS Using a Control Panel <\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you added cPanel, you can use Softaculous to install WordPress with just a few clicks. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Step 1: Enable ionCube Loaders in WHM <\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Before installing Softaculous, you need to enable ionCube Loaders first. To do this, log into WHM and go to Server Configuration, then Tweak Settings. Click on the PHP tab, select IonCube, and hit Save.

Step 2: Install Softaculous <\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Softaculous does not come pre-installed on WHM, so you need to add it manually through remote access. If you are on a Linux system, open your terminal directly. If you are on Windows, download and install a free tool called PuTTY from its official website. PuTTY lets you run Linux commands from a Windows machine. Once you are connected to your server, run the following commands one by one: <\/p>\n
