Installing WordPress (Via Installatron)

Now that you’ve got your domain and hosting set up, it’s time to install WordPress. Don’t worry — you don’t need to download any files or set up databases manually. VentraIP uses a tool called Installatron, which makes installing WordPress as easy as filling out a form.

Step 1: Log in to Your Hosting Control Panel

  1. Go to the VentraIP VIPControl portal and log in with your hosting account details.
  2. From your services, click into your Web Hosting plan.

  3. Open cPanel (this is your hosting control panel where all the tools live).

Step 2: Find Installatron

Once you’re in cPanel:

  • Scroll down until you see the Software section.
  • Look for Installatron Applications Installer and click it.

This is where you can install apps like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal — but we’ll stick with WordPress.

Step 3: Start the WordPress Installation

  1. In Installatron, find WordPress and click Install this application.
  2. You’ll be taken to a form where you can set up your site details.

Step 4: Configure Your WordPress Settings

Here’s what to fill out:

  • Domain: Choose the domain you registered earlier (e.g., yourbusiness.com.au).
  • Directory: Leave this blank if you want WordPress at your main domain (recommended).
  • Admin Username & Password: Choose something secure — this will be how you log into your WordPress dashboard.
  • Admin Email: Use a valid email address (you’ll get password resets and notifications here).
  • Website Title: Enter your business name (you can change this later).

Leave the other options as default unless you know you want something specific.

Step 5: Install WordPress

Scroll down and click Install.

  • Installatron will set everything up automatically.
  • In less than a minute, your WordPress site will be live.

Step 6: Log Into WordPress

Once the installation finishes, Installatron will give you a link to your new site.

Your login page will be at:

 yourdomain.com.au/wp-admin

  • Log in with the username and password you created earlier.

Congratulations 🎉 You now have WordPress installed and ready for Elementor!
