Launching your blog or website is an exciting venture, and having the right tools at your disposal can make the process smooth and efficient. The Hepsia Control Panel offers a user-friendly platform that simplifies the website setup. This guide is for beginners or experienced users to walk you through the steps to set up your blog or website using the Hepsia Control Panel.

Step 1: Accessing the Hepsia Control Panel:

1. Log in to your hosting account.
2. Navigate to the control panel. If your hosting provider uses the Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll find a link to access it.

Step 2: Domain and Hosting Configuration:

1. Once in the Hepsia Control Panel, navigate to the “Hosted Domains” section.
2. Click the “Add Hosted Domain” button to add your domain name.
3. Configure your domain’s settings, including the document root directory and PHP settings.

Step 3: Setting Up a Database:

1. If your blog or website requires a database (e.g., for a content management system like WordPress), go to the “MySQL Databases” section.
2. Create a new database and user, assigning the user to the database with appropriate privileges.

Step 4: Uploading Website Files:

1. Use the File Manager in the control panel to upload your website files. You can also use an FTP client if preferred.
2. Place your website files in the appropriate directory (often the public_html or www).

Step 5: Installing Content Management System (Optional):

1. If you want to use a content management system (CMS) like WordPress, navigate to the “Application Installer” section.
2. Choose the CMS you want to install (e.g., WordPress) and follow the prompts to complete the installation. Provide the database details you set up earlier.

Step 6: Domain Name Configuration:

1. If your domain name is not pointed to your hosting provider’s nameservers, you must update your domain’s DNS settings. Pointing your domain is typically done at your domain registrar.
2. Point your domain’s nameservers to the ones provided by your hosting provider.

Step 7: Testing and Launching:

1. DNS propagation may take up to 48 hours.
2. Once complete, type your domain name in a web browser to see your blog or website live.

Step 8: Customization and Content Creation:

1. Access your website’s admin panel (e.g., www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin for WordPress) to customize your site’s design, settings, and plugins.
2. Start creating and publishing content, whether blog posts, articles, or product listings.

Following these step-by-step instructions, you can efficiently configure your domain, hosting, and databases and install a content management system to kickstart your online journey.
