Lesson 1.1: Checklist for Installing WordPress on IONOS

  • File upload via Webspace Explorer
  • Database connection configuration

Deploying WordPress manually to IONOS web hosting requires completing several discrete stages displayed in the tutorial checklist. First, you obtain the official WordPress archive (such as wordpress-6.5.5.zip) and navigate to the IONOS Web Hosting Plus control panel. Inside the IONOS Webspace Explorer, you upload the WordPress archive into your target directory. Next, a database must be created in IONOS, providing credentials including the database name, username, database host, and password. Finally, navigating to the domain or installation URL brings up the WordPress installer prompt where these database parameters and table prefix are submitted to establish the connection.

Practical work

  1. Access IONOS Webspace Explorer and verify where site files are stored.
  2. Review the required database fields: Database Name, Username, Password, Database Host, and Table Prefix.
