The process is not complicated and only takes less than 5 minutes. You already have 2 basic ammunition to create a website, namely [domain](/en/domain/) and [hosting](/en/web-hosting/). Now is the time to put your website online so it can be accessed by everyone on the internet. The first thing you have to do is install the WordPress platform on your hosting. There are two ways to install Word Press: 1. Automatic method (one click installation) 2. Manual method We will use the easiest method, namely using the *One Click Installation* feature (install with 1x click) in cPanel hosting. ### Installing WordPress Using the *One-Click Installation * Feature Almost all hosting providers provide a *One-Click Installation* feature to install WordPress inside [cPanel hosting](/en/cpanel-hosting/) or [DirectAdmin Hosting](/en/directadmin-hosting/) or [Plesk hosting](/en/plesk-hosting/). If you [choose good hosting](/en/13-tips-for-choosing-the-right-hosting/), you will find this feature in your [cPanel](/en/complete-cpanel-guide-for-beginners/) hosting. In this example, I use the hosting provider [DomaiNesia](/go/domainesia). What if you use a different hosting provider? Don't panic, because the settings will not be much different. #### **1. Log in to your DomaiNesia account** Or click the following login link: [https://my.domainesia.com/signin/](https://my.domainesia.com/signin/) Enter the *username* and *password* that you created when filling in the previous *DomaiNesia account registration form*. 1. Then, click on the section that I boxed in red or click on the *products* section.![Klik bagian products](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/Klik-bagian-products-scaled-1.webp "Klik-bagian-products-scaled") 2. Then, click on the “Access” tab.![Klik pada tab Access](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/Klik-pada-tab-22Access22.webp "Klik-pada-tab-22Access22") 3. And click login to cPanel.![Klik log in to cPanel](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/Klik-log-in-to-cPanel.webp "Klik log in to cPanel") 4. You are logged in to cPanel. This is how your DomaiNesia hosting cPanel looks like.![Tampilan cPanel DomaiNesia](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/Tampilan-cPanel-DomaiNesia.webp "Tampilan cPanel DomaiNesia") #### 2. Make sure your domain uses SSL Before going to the steps to install WordPress, there is one important thing you have to do so that your website looks professional, namely installing SSL. If you use SSL, the connection to your website will be secure, like this:![Menggunakan SSL](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/Menggunakan-SSL.webp "Menggunakan-SSL") If you don't use SSL \= not secure. In the Chrome browser, your website will be labeled as "Not Secure".![tidak menggunakan SSL](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/tidak-menggunakan-SSL.webp "tidak menggunakan SSL") You don't want your website to look unsafe like the one above, right? So, how do you install SSL on your new website? It's easy. Look at the top right of your cPanel, does your primary domain have a green "DV Certificate"?![Perhatikan DV Ceartificate](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/Perhatikan-DV-Certificate.webp "Perhatikan DV Certificate") Basically, at DomaiNesia SSL is activated automatically. If not, your primary domain will be marked "No Valid Certificate". How to fix it: 1. Click the screwdriver icon button as I show below:![klik tombol icon obeng](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/klik-tombol-icon-obeng.webp "klik-tombol-icon-obeng") 2Then, check section number (1), and click the 'Run AutoSSL" button in section number (2).![Ikuti 2 langkah berikut](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/ikuti-2-langkah-berikut.webp "Ikuti 2 langkah berikut") 3. Check again in the cPanel home, confirm whether your primary domain has a "DV Certificate" or not. If so, please continue to step three.![Perhatikan DV Certificate](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/Perhatikan-DV-Certificate-1024x419.webp "Perhatikan DV Certificate") #### 3. Redirect HTTP to https (For SEO) So that the domain always uses https (secure and good for SEO), you have to redirect from http to https, if not, other people can access two versions of your website. One is http (not secure) The other is https (secure/because SSL is installed) Therefore, you need to redirect http to https. In cPanel, you can easily do this redirect with just 1 click. There are several ways, depending on the hosting provider and control panel you use: **1. If you use DomaiNesia** 1. Click Nginx in cPanel![Klik pada bagian Nginx](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/Klik-pada-bagian-Nginx.jpg-1024x498.webp "Klik pada bagian Nginx") 2. Then click the "Force https" tab and click the "Enable" button as I demonstrated in the image below.![redirect http ke https](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/redirect-http-ke-https-1024x632.webp "redirect http ke https") **2. If you use another provider (other than DomaiNesia)** 1. Click on the Domains section.![Klik Domains](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/Klik-Domains.jpg-1024x287.webp "Klik Domains") 2. Then click the button that I directed in the image below.![Redirect http to https](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/Redirect-http-to-https.jpg-1024x432.webp "Redirect http to https") #### 4. Return to Tutorial on How to Install WordPress 1. Look for and click on the WordPress logo or if it is not there, select Softaculous Apps Installer![Pilih scripts WordPress](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/Pilih-scripts-WordPress-1024x852.webp "Pilih scripts WordPress") 2Click the blue “Install Now” button![Klik tombol Biru Install Now](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/Klik-tombol-Biru-Install-Now.png-1024x537.webp "klik-tombol-biru-install-now") 3. Then, fill in the required information. Follow the instructions in the image below:![Install WordPress](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/install-WordPress-di-cPanel-Hosting-1162x1536-1.webp "install-WordPress-di-cPanel-Hosting-1162x1536-1") Don't forget to fill in your admin email with your active email. This can also be used to reset your password if you forget it someday. Wait about 1-3 minutes until WordPress is installed completely. If already installed:![Website WordPress sudah berhasil diinstall](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/Website-WordPress-sudah-berhasil-diinstall.webp "Website WordPress sudah berhasil diinstall") ### Making adjustments to the new website OK, now you have successfully installed WordPress. Your website can be accessed by everyone on the internet. You can try opening your website by typing your domain name in the browser. For example: adviserhosting.com in the Google Chrome address bar. However, currently your website still looks new and empty.![Website masih kosong](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/masih-kosong.png.webp "masih-kosong.webp") Before filling it with content and moving on to the 4th chapter of this [tutorial on how to make a ](/en/how-to-make-your-own-website-complete-guide/) website , you need to take care of a few important things first to make the website look ready. **1. Log in to your WordPress Dashboard** If you're not sure how, type: [http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/](http://domainanda.com/wp-admin/) (replace “yourdomain.com” with your domain name).![Log in ke WordPress Anda](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/log-in-ke-WordPress-Anda.jpg.webp "log-in-ke-WordPress-Anda.webp") Enter your username or email address and password (which you created when installing WordPress). When you have logged in, this is what your Word Press dashboard will look like:![Dashboard WP](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/dashboard-wp.png-1.webp "Dashboard WP") 2**Change Your Website Title and Tagline** The title and tagline are the first parts you need to customize. Create a title and tagline that reflects the content of your website. For example, the title of this website is “Hosting Advisor” and the tagline is “Web Hosting Service Provider Reviews”. How to change the title and tagline? On your WordPress dashboard, click **Settings** -> **General**.![Mengganti judul dan tagline](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/Mengganti-judul-dan-tagline.jpg.webp "Mengganti judul dan tagline")**Confused about choosing a title and tagline?** If you are not sure what to write, here I give you 4 surefire tips that can help you: * If you create a website for business/enterprise branding purposes, you can use the same or identical title as your domain name. For example, the Google page title is Google and Facebook is Facebook. * Use a description that describes your website as a whole and combine it with your domain name. For example, the title of the Tokopedia website page is "Safe and Convenient Online Buying and Selling - Tokopedia". * Ask yourself: "What is the purpose of your website?" What do you want to achieve through your website? You can use the goal or what you want to achieve as the title and tagline of your website. * If you create a personal blog, you can use your own name as the blog title and your profession as the tagline. **3. Make sure your website is search engine friendly (SEO)** There are three important points that you need to consider when preparing your website so that it is search engine friendly (good SEO). Luckily, these three points are very easy to do in WordPress. **1. Don't use long or unimportant formats in your URL structure.** What is meant by the URL structure is something like this: [*http://yourdomain.com/2017/02/01/category/cara-buat-blog*](http://domainanda.com/2017/02/01/category/cara-membuat-blog) Actually, there's nothing wrong with using this URL structure, but search engines don't like long structures like the example above. It's best to use a short URL structure and avoid using dates. [*http://yourdomain.com/cara-buat-website*](http://domainanda.com/cara-membuat-website) How can you ensure that your website's URL structure is like the correct example above? Click **Settings** > **Permalinks**, then select ‘post name’ and save your settings.![pilih permalinks post name](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/pilih-permalinks-post-name.png.webp "pilih-permalinks-post-name.webp") **2. Don't block search engines from reading and crawling your website.**Click ** **Settings** > **Reading**. *Scroll* your mouse to the bottom. Make sure that you DO NOT check search engine visibility, if you check it, your website will not be indexed at all by Google, Yahoo, Bing and other search engines.![jangan centang bagian ini](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/jangan-centang-bagian-ini.png.webp "jangan-centang-bagian-ini.webp") **3. Don't let spam comments easily enter your website** In fact, there are millions of people on the internet who love leaving spam comments to advertise their products or services. Click **Settings** > **Discussion** and make sure you check both options below:![moderasi komentar](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/moderasi-komentar.png.webp "moderasi-komentar.webp") 4. Delete default WordPress content \[Such as: Hello World, and Sample Page] Content you need to delete: * Remove “Hello World” in the “Posts” section * Delete “Sample Page” in the “Pages” section Hover your cursor over the article title to select Edit | Quick Edit | **Trash** | View appears.![hapus post default](https://img.penasihathosting.com/2025/cara-membuat-website/hapus-posts.png.webp "hapus-posts.webp")
