How to install a CMS on our hosting?

2013-05-04

You can install a CMS in two ways: in one click with CMS Toolkit or manually. Both options are described below, as well as how to adopt a WordPress that is already installed.

One-click install (CMS Toolkit)

  1. Create a site in "WWW" -> "WWW domains" (see "How to add a site?") and point the domain to the hosting.
  2. Open "WWW" -> "CMS Toolkit" and click "Install".
  3. Choose the CMS (WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, OpenCart or PrestaShop) and the "Site".
  4. If needed, enter a "Subdirectory" (for example blog to install to https://site/blog); leave it empty to install to the site root.
  5. For WordPress, fill in "Site title", "Admin username" and "Admin email".
  6. Click "Install".

The database and the database user are created automatically. The admin password is shown only once: save it.

For WordPress, CMS Toolkit offers: login to wp-admin without a password ("Log in to wp-admin"), core updates, automatic updates, plugin and theme management, and "One-click hardening".

Manual install

  1. Create a site and point the domain to the hosting.
  2. Upload the CMS files to the www/<domain> directory via FTP/SFTP or "File manager" (you can upload an archive and unpack it with the "Extract" button).
  3. Create a database (see "How to add a database").
  4. Open the site in a browser and run the CMS installer. The MySQL host is localhost.

If WordPress is already installed

To manage an existing WordPress from the panel:

  1. Open "CMS Toolkit" and click "Adopt existing".
  2. Choose the site and click "Detect".
  3. Click "Adopt".
