Plesk is a commercial web hosting platform that you can use to set up websites and user accounts for your customers. It provides the user interface that allows us to deploy or websites on the server efficiently. It is available for Windows as well as Linux and it supports WordPress. With the help of Plesk, you can also set up reseller accounts that your customers can use to further resell the hosting services you provide at scale. Plesk also allows you to create custom E-mail accounts and DNS entries.
You can install WordPress directly from the Plesk admin panel on any domain name. WordPress is one of the most popular content management systems on the Internet. In this tutorial, I am going to show you how to install WordPress from Plesk. It is a fairly easy process that does not require any technical knowledge. To make this process easier, I have attached a screenshot after every step of the process so that you can follow the tutorial visually too.
Install WordPress from Plesk
First of all, log in to your Plesk admin panel. Then, click on the Domains option given in the left sidebar of the admin panel.
On this page, you will get a list of domain names available on your Plesk server. Click on the Manage Hosting link given in the last column corresponding to the domain on which you want to install WordPress.
Now, you will see an interface to further manage that domain name. From the list of tabs, click on the Applications tab to see the list of applications we can install on this domain name.
In that list, you will see WordPress just like the following image. Click on the Install button given in the WordPress card to start the WordPress installation process.
Now, you will see a form with some fields to enter the directory for WordPress installation, Administrative access, and the database information. Enter all the required information and click on the Install button given at the bottom of the page to install WordPress from Plesk.
It might take some time to install WordPress, as it has to download the files too. Once the installation is complete, you will see a screen with a success message just like the following image.
