Install WordPress
Step by Step Process of Installing WordPress
Installing WordPress can be done within a few minutes by accessing control panel.
Whenever we buy a web hosting, immediately will get a control panel or C-Panel access to administer the server and manage websites on a single location given by Hosting services.
You will receive C-Panel “URL” and “Login ID” on your E-mail ID which was given during registration.

For Example:
