Done! We’ll take care of the rest
The IONOS Setup Assistant will install the WordPress instance and automatically set up any necessary databases. A WordPress user profile is created for you and your language preferences are set. The Setup Assistant also connects the domain you select with your webspace directory.
You can also carry out the WordPress instance installation manually, or perform a local installation.
You can log in to your WordPress page via “Edit Website”, using the login details you chose earlier.
