This article will discuss how to install WordPress on CyberPanel Control panel. We use the WordPress Optimised Hosting on Broodle to demonstrate, which comes with CyberPanel pre-installed.
Since its release in 2018, CyberPanel has gained a lot of popularity and reputation as a web hosting control panel/server control panel. It uses a LiteSpeed server, which results in a super-fast WordPress experience. For those who don’t know what CyberPanel is, it is a control panel similar to cPanel and DirectAdmin. It is a backend management panel that allows users to perform different functions like installing SSL, managing emails, DNS and much more.

Install WordPress with CyberPanel Hosting
Step 1: Check for CyberPanel Hosting
Visit Broodle’s WordPress Optimised Hosting page and purchase a plan that suits your needs if you don’t have a hosting plan that comes with CyberPanel.
Step 2: Access your CyberPanel Control Panel.
Head over to your CyberPanel control panel by using yourdomain.com:9090
You can get your login credentials from the server administrator or your hosting provider.
Alternatively, you can use One Click Login from the Broodle Host ClientArea -> My Services. This will automatically log you into CyberPanel Control Panel.
Step 3: Select your domain/website for WordPress Installation
After logging in to your control panel, go to the list websites page of CyberPanel. From this page, you can select the domain where you want your WordPress installation.
- From your Dashboard, click on Websites and List Website.
Or,
- In the Left Sidebar Menu, click on Websites -> List Website.
Step 4: Issue SSL
You will find your domain listed on the list domain page. The first thing that you want to do is to click on Issue SSL. It will take a few seconds to activate. Before issuing SSL make sure your domain is pointed to the correct nameservers of the CyberPanel server or the SSL will not be issued.
Step 5: Install WordPress using the CyberPanel Application Installer
After the SSL is activated, click on Manage from the List Websites Page.
You can find different settings related to your website on this page. Scroll down to the Application Installer section and click on WP + LSCache. It will install WordPress with LiteSpeed Cache on your domain.

Alternate Method to install WordPress Manually on CyberPanel Hosting
Step 1: Download the WordPress Package
Download the WordPress package from the WordPress official website here.
Step 2: Open File Manager in CyberPanel
Select File Manager from the Website Manage Page on CyberPanel and navigate to public_html directory.
Step 3: Upload the WordPress Files
Go to public_html to upload the WordPress files. Click on upload and select the WordPress Package file downloaded from the WordPress official website.
Alternatively, if you want to install WordPress on a specific path, create a folder and upload the files in that folder.
For example, if you want WordPress installation on yourdomain.com/foldername, create a folder inside public_html and name the folder accordingly.
Step 4: Extract the WordPress Files
Extract the contents of the zip folder by right-clicking on the zip file -> Extract.
Move the contents from wordpress folder to the root folder public_html. You have successfully uploaded WordPress to your host!
Step 5: Create a Database
The next step is to create a database, which can be done by clicking on Databases -> Create a Database in the sidebar menu.
Alternatively, you can go to your dashboard and click on Databases -> Create Database on the opened page.
Complete the form and save the details as they will be needed when installing WordPress.
Step 6: Connect the Database to the WordPress Installation
Visit your domain URL. You will see a WordPress installation screen.
If not, then try again from Step 1.
When you start the WordPress installation, it will ask for database connection details. Enter the information saved while creating a database in step 5.
Note: Database name will be: username_databasename
So, for example, if your username is “harry” and you named your database “wp”, your database name will be harry_wp. Make sure to enter the database details correctly to ensure proper installation.
When asked for the database host just set it to localhost.
Click on “Run the Installation” to proceed.
