There is a number of possible ways how to install WordPress to your SiteGround hosting account, but here I am going to guide you through the easiest and quickest WordPress installation methods.

I recommend that you start with SiteGround’s StartUp plan, as it’s the cheapest and easiest plan to start with (as I’ve explained here).

Step 2 – Create Your WordPress Site

Next, log in to your SiteGround dashboard.

In the Home section, click “Setup Site” and you’ll get asked to add a new website, from here select “Start New Website“.

Step 3 – Install WordPress on SiteGround

Here are presented with a couple of options; WordPress, WooCommerce (open-source e-commerce, Weebly, and “other”.

You want to select WordPress as the application, and create a login, email address and password, for your WordPress site.

The login information is important to remember, so make sure you write everything down and keep it somewhere safe and easily accessible.

You will also receive a confirmation email with all the information.

 It will take a few minutes for your WordPress-powered website to be installed and created.
