WordPress is just one example, but it&#8217;s the most popular <em>content management system <\/em>on the web today, so it&#8217;s a great choice if this is your first website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Launch the Installer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In cPanel, under the <strong>applications <\/strong>section, look click on <strong>WordPress<\/strong>. This will launch the application installer where you can read about what WordPress is and decide if it&#8217;s the right content management system for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screenshot-2019-08-23-at-11.45.25-1024x562.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-189\" width=\"838\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screenshot-2019-08-23-at-11.45.25-1024x562.png 1024w, https:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screenshot-2019-08-23-at-11.45.25-300x165.png 300w, https:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screenshot-2019-08-23-at-11.45.25-768x421.png 768w, https:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screenshot-2019-08-23-at-11.45.25.png 1922w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 838px) 100vw, 838px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you&#8217;re ready to go, click <em>Install this application<\/em> on the right: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screenshot-2019-08-23-at-11.46.14-1024x708.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-190\" width=\"768\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screenshot-2019-08-23-at-11.46.14.png 1024w, https:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screenshot-2019-08-23-at-11.46.14-300x207.png 300w, https:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screenshot-2019-08-23-at-11.46.14-768x531.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Choosing the settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll now be taken to a settings configuration page.
