Instructions

These steps include:

Domain Purchase, Hosting Setup, Genesis Framework / Dynamik Theme Deployment, Plugin Installation, and Advanced Config.

1. Create hosting account on Cpanel.

SERVER URL AND ROOT LOGIN TO THE MAIN SERVER ARE SHARED IN TRELLO.

PASTE IN DOMAIN NAME WITH NO “WWW.”

COPY USERNAME TO SHARED SPREADSHEET OR TRELLO.

GENERATE PASSWORD. MORE DETAILS HERE.

COPY PASSWORD TO SHARED SPREADSHEET OR TRELLO.

LEAVE OTHER SETTINGS BELOW “AS-IS”. NO CHANGES NEEDED.

CLICK CREATE.

THIS WILL COMPLETE THE HOSTING ACCOUNT CREATION AT WEB SERVER LEVEL.

LOG OUT OF THE ROOT SERVER.

2. Login to the hosted CPANEL account, and set up WordPress.

THE URL FOR CPANEL LOGIN WILL BE WHATEVER DOMAIN YOU JUST CREATED HOSTING FOR + /CPANEL

http://mydomain.com/cpanel

SCROLL DOWN TO BOTTOM OF HOSTED CPANEL ACCOUNT SCREEN

CLICK WORDPRESS

PROTOCOL:

TO SELECT HTTPS (SECURE SSL) YOU NEED TO WAIT ABOUT 30 MINUTES AFTER HOSTING ACCOUNT CREATION.

THE REASON IS THE SERVER AUTO-CREATES SSL BY SCHEDULE. (WE CAN ADJUST THIS)

IF YOU COME BACK TO THE TASK AFTER 30 MINUTES SSL WILL BE SELECTABLE.

OTHERWISE SELECT HTTP. IT’S NOT SECURE BUT CAN BE CHANGED LATER.

DOMAIN:

ADD IN YOUR DOMAIN NAME.

DIRECTORY:

REMOVE THE “WP”. LEAVE THIS FIELD BLANK.

CREATE USER: WE HAVE A STANDARD ONE. USE THAT, PLUS ADD YOUR OWN.

AUTO-GENERATE PASSWORD.

COPY AND PASTE THIS TO THE SHARED SPREADSHEET.

LEAVE REMAINING FIELDS “AS-IS”.

CLICK INSTALL.

YOU’LL SEE A SUCCESS MESSAGE IF IT WORKED.

YOU CAN ACCESS THE SITE FROM THE URL’S IT PROVIDES, WHICH TRIGGERS STEP 3, IN THE NEXT SECTION.
