Moving this WordPress site to SiteGround web hosting was probably the best decision I have ever made to get a website faster. So if you haven’t already, you should also register with SiteGround.

But how do you install WordPress on SiteGround?

This tutorial will show you how easy it is to install WordPress on your account—site ground hosting.

There are several ways to install WordPress on your SiteGround hosting account, but I will walk you through two of the easiest and fastest methods of installing WordPress.

The first method is fully automatic and uses SiteGround’s WordPress setup wizard. The second method is semi-automatic and uses the Softaculous installation settings.
