5. On the next page, you will need to fill out the details of your WordPress installation. 

  • Choose the domain you wish to install WordPress for

  • In "In Directory" field, you can specify the root folder for WordPress installation. By default, this field comes with "wp" that allows to install WordPress on yourdomain.com/wp. If you wish to install it to the main website, like yourdomain.com, simply leave it empty

  • Database Name can be left default

  • Table Prefix can also be left default wp_, however, due to security reasons it is better to change it, e.g. to aesite_ 

  • Site Settings section should be filled out accordingly to your needs, though you can change it anytime later if required.

Make sure you set up secure and hard-to guess details in Admin Account section.
