In this guide we will use the Applications Panel feature to automatically install an application to our web hosting account. This feature allows you to install applications like WordPress, Magento, or frameworks like Laravel and Symfony2, directly from the SolVPS Control Panel.

Log in to the Control Panel

Click Services > Dashboard in the SolVPS menu (if not logged in, log in here). On the Dashboard, select your web hosting service by clicking Manage Service.

For this example, we will install WordPress on our web hosting account. As you can see, there are many more applications you can install using the same method. There are over 400 software packages available.

Install WordPress

Choose WordPress. Now you can configure the installation options for WordPress. Use the ? tooltips if you need help filling in the options. You can also leave the default values if unsure.

If you open the File Manager, you will see a new folder called blog that corresponds to the Directory we set in the installation step. This is where you will find the WordPress configuration files.

Log in to WordPress

Visit http://yourdomain.com/blog to see if the installation was successful. In our example we see a basic WordPress install with no content yet. Looks good!
