Setting up your first WordPress site

Getting a new WordPress site online with Kinetic Cloud takes just a few minutes.

1. Sign in to your control panel

Head to cp.kinetic.cloud and sign in. If you haven’t picked a plan yet, choose one first.

2. Add your website

Create a new website and enter the domain you want to use. You can use a domain you already own or a temporary address to start building right away.

3. Install WordPress with one click

Use the 1-click WordPress installer to set up a fresh site. Kinetic Cloud provisions WordPress with performance and security best-practices already in place — no manual configuration required.

4. Secure it with SSL

Free SSL is issued automatically for your domain, so your site is served over HTTPS out of the box. No certificates to buy or configure.

5. Log in and start building

Visit yourdomain.com/wp-admin and sign in with your WordPress admin credentials. From there you can pick a theme, install plugins, and publish your first page.

Want to test changes safely first? Every plan includes a staging environment — build and preview on a copy before pushing to your live site.

Bringing an existing site instead?

If you already have a WordPress site elsewhere, don’t reinstall — migrate it to Kinetic Cloud instead. Migration is free on Managed plans and moves everything over with zero downtime.
