Installing WordPress on SiteGround
When you log in to SiteGround for the first time, you’ll see a welcome screen. Simply click the orange “Set up site” button to start installing WordPress.

Next, SiteGround will check whether you want to register a new domain, use your existing domain, or use a temporary domain. Just make your selection and then click the “Continue” button at the bottom of the screen.

The next step may look a little technical, but don’t worry. First, you need to select the “Start New Website” option, which will bring up three more options below. From these, just select the “WordPress” option.

After that, just enter your email address, plus the password that you want to use for your WordPress account. When you’re done, go ahead and click the “Continue” button at the bottom of the screen.

On the next screen, SiteGround will offer you the chance to purchase SG Site Scanner (if you didn’t do so when you initially signed up).

You can add this if you want or leave it off. Just click “Finish” once you’ve decided.

Tip: If you aren’t using SG Site Scanner, I strongly recommend using a argentina phone number material security plugin such as Sucuri on your website.

SiteGround will now create your WordPress site, which could take up to 2 minutes.

Once this process is complete, WordPress is now fully installed on your website. You’ll see a message saying “You Are All Set!” and some new options. Just click the “Log In Admin” button to go straight to your WordPress admin area.

Tip: If you have any difficulties using the automatic login link, you can go to www.yoursitename.com/wp-admin to log in with the email address and password that you set up as your WordPress login.

After logging in to your WordPress site, you should see a welcome message. SiteGround will take you through some different steps to get you started quickly.
