How to Install WordPress on Bluehost?

After you sign up on Bluehost, you can see the complete sign up process in my Bluehost Web Hosting Review, you need to login to the control panel here.

After logging into the control panel, go to the Mojo Marketplace and click on One Click Installs.

Mojo MarketPlace

The Mojo MarketPlace is a central hub to install any popular app, plugin or theme real quick. There is a little check to confirm all the server requirements that are needed for the one click installs.

So we are here at the Mojo Market Place, you can see down below, 1 click install for WordPress is at the top.

Click on the Install button to proceed with the installation of WordPress.

Select the domain here and click on the Check Domain button. It will check the availability of domain.

This step is very important, check the advanced options box.

Put the site name, an admin username and a strong password. Save these credentials to some safe place. In order to manage our WordPress site, we need to login via these credentials.

Furthermore, you can change the password anytime later after the installation but you will not be able to change the admin username, so keep that in mind. Finally check the box that you’ve read the terms and click install now.

Boom! our WordPress installation is on the way.

Our WordPress installation is complete. Click at the Notification center to get the login credentials. Most importantly, these credentials are really important and must not be shared. You’ll directly manage your whole WordPress website through it.
