It&#8217;s not just me being biased &#8211; WordPress powers over a third of all websites on the internet. That&#8217;s bonkers when you think about it!<\/p>\n<p>So, what makes WordPress so special? Well, it&#8217;s like the Swiss Army knife of website builders. It&#8217;s dead easy to use, even if you&#8217;re not a tech whiz. You can make a cracking website without writing a single line of code. But if you are a bit of a coding guru, you can customize it to your heart&#8217;s content. Proper neat, right?<\/p>\n<p>Plus, there&#8217;s a massive community of WordPress users and developers. That means loads of free themes, plugins, and help when needed. It&#8217;s like having a whole army of web design mates at your fingertips!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Grab_the_Latest_WordPress\"><\/span>Step 1: Grab the Latest WordPress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-191 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/alavps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/download-wordpress.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"529\" height=\"342\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/alavps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/download-wordpress.png 529w, https:\/\/alavps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/download-wordpress-300x194.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 529px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 529\/342;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Right, let&#8217;s get down to business. First things first, we need to get our hands on WordPress itself. Pop over to WordPress.org and look for the big &#8220;Download WordPress&#8221; button. It&#8217;s as easy as downloading a song &#8211; just click and wait for it to finish. Make sure you&#8217;ve got a good cup of tea handy while you wait!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Upload_WordPress_to_Your_VPS\"><\/span>Step 2: Upload WordPress to Your VPS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now we&#8217;ve got WordPress on our computer, it&#8217;s time to introduce it to your VPS. Think of it like moving into a new flat &#8211; we need to get all our stuff (WordPress) into the new place (your VPS).<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ve got a couple of options here. You can use cPanel&#8217;s File Manager, which is like a digital moving van, or an FTP program like FileZilla, which is more like hiring a removal company. Both get the job done, but for this guide, we&#8217;ll use cPanel because it&#8217;s usually right there waiting for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/alavps.com\/blog\/how-to-install-cpanel-on-a-vps-server-using-putty\/\" aria-current=\"page\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><strong>How to Install cPanel on a VPS Server Using PuTTY?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how to do it:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Log into cPanel (you should have received login details when you got your VPS)<\/li>\n<li>Look for the File Manager icon and give it a click.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-190 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/alavps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/file-manager.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"637\" height=\"343\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/alavps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/file-manager.png 637w, https:\/\/alavps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/file-manager-300x162.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 637px) 100vw, 637px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 637px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 637\/343;\" \/><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Navigate to the public_html directory &#8211; this is like the living room of your website<\/li>\n<li>Click the &#8216;Upload&#8217; button and select your WordPress zip file<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>While that&#8217;s uploading, maybe grab another cuppa.
