In this article, we will detail how to order hosting and install the CMS WordPress, without having knowledge in administration and programming. We'll show that creating a website from scratch is not so difficult and is accessible to literally everyone. The guide to installing CMS WordPress will be accompanied by screenshots and a detailed description of each stage, and at the end, there will be a short video, for those who do not want to read.

We chose WordPress as an example, but you can choose any other CMS from a hundred ready-made ones. All of them are downloaded from official repositories and have the latest versions. With this guide, we'll lead you to a finished website that will be accessible via a third-level domain. The third-level domain is free. So, let's get started.

How to Order Hosting

1. After registering in the billing and logging in, you will enter your account. Here you can manage services: create, renew, or delete. We need to go to the Shared Hosting tab, which is located in the left panel, and click "Order":

After that, you need to choose the required tariff and the period for which you want to order hosting:

2. In the next step, you need to specify whether there will be auto-renewal. Auto-renewal means that hosting will be automatically renewed if you have the necessary amount on your account. This option can be disabled, but then you'll have to control the payment manually. Also, here you can specify the domain name if you already have one. You can leave the field empty. In that case, you can add the domain to the hosting at any time later. We have instructions on how to attach a domain purchased from another registrar to our hosting.

You can add a dedicated IP address so your site or sites are on a separate IP, independent of all other users' sites. The thing is, shared hosting implies some shared resources, such as IP addresses. We offer several addresses for shared hosting but cannot guarantee that your hosting neighbors won't use these addresses for actions that may negatively affect the reputation of the IP.

When you take a dedicated address, you get a completely clean IP without "history" and can calmly develop your projects on it. Moreover, for search engines, the IP history is one of the important ranking factors. So, building a serious project on shared IP addresses will be difficult.

So, we've chosen the Auto-renewal option, decided on the IP. Next, we press Add to Cart or immediately proceed to payment by clicking Pay.

Moreover, you can always access the hosting panel from the account in billing. For this, select the service and then click the "Go panel" button in the top row:

Hosting Control Panel. What Is It?

9. So, we are in the hosting control panel. It is a standalone service, with a separate address and separate access, which allows you to fully manage hosting services. For further work with the site, access to this panel is sufficient. At this stage, CMS needs to be installed on the hosting.
