Hosteurope: Install and set up Wordpress

Hosteurope makes installing and setting up a website with WordPress fairly easy. You can find out exactly how in this practical tip.

Open the Hosteurope website in the browser and log in with your access data.
In the customer information system (HIS), select your product under the "Administration" menu item and then select "Configure".
Under "Scripts" click on "Web Applications". Select "Wordpress" from the list of available web applications and then "Configure".
You can use the drop-down menu to specify the domain on which Wordpress should be installed.
Wordpress, like every CMS, requires a database. The easiest way to provide a database for installation is to "Create database automatically" in the preferences.
You can also set the user rights for the installation in the preferences. You should only choose to install it as a web server user if you are already quite experienced in WordPress. As a beginner, you should leave the default setting at "No".
Once you have made all the default settings, click on "Start configuration" and the configuration menu will appear.
In this menu you define the user name and password for the WordPress installation. You can also enter the title for your WordPress page and determine an email address.
When you click on "Complete installation", you can get started with your new WordPress site.
Alternatively, you can of course also install Wordpress in the classic way. Instructions for installing Wordpress on a web space can be found in this article in our WordPress tips.
