Step 1: Confirm your hosting plan and login

Make sure you have access to your Yogi's VPS account and know which site this WordPress install will belong to.

Checklist: hosting access

  • You have received your Yogi's VPS welcome email.
  • You can log in to your client area or control panel.
  • You know which domain this site will use, or you have a temporary domain ready.

Decide your site type

  • Simple brochure site or portfolio.
  • Blog focused on content.
  • Lead generation landing site.
  • Online store or membership site later on.

Step 2: Add or confirm your domain

Your site can run on a real domain or a temporary subdomain while you are building it.

  • Choose the main domain you want to use, for example yourbusiness.com.
  • Decide whether you want visitors to use www.yourbusiness.com or the non www version by default.
  • If your domain is not pointed to Yogi's VPS yet, you can still start by using a temporary subdomain provided by your account.

Tip: You can build the entire site on a temporary URL and switch the domain later. This avoids interrupting an existing live site while you redesign it.

Step 3: Install WordPress on your account

Once your domain or temporary URL is set up, you can create the WordPress site itself.

  • Log in to your hosting control panel from your Yogi's VPS client area.
  • Find the section labeled WordPress, Applications, or Softaculous depending on your panel.
  • Choose Install WordPress.
  • Select the domain or subdomain you want to use for this site.
  • Set your site title and admin username and password. Use a secure password.
  • Leave optional demo plugins unchecked if you want a clean base site.
  • Click Install and wait for confirmation that WordPress was created.
