To set up your website using WPGO, follow these organized steps:

  1. Access WPGO: Go to the Apps menu and click on the WPGO logo.

  2. Set Up WordPress: Select the "Set up WordPress" option to begin the installation process.

  3. Choose Website Name and Categories: Provide a name for your website and select categories (optional) for organization purposes.

  4. Create New Website:

    • Temporary Domain: If using a free domain, enter your desired address and continue.
    • Registered Domain: If using a Esadax-registered domain, enter it or choose from the drop-down list.
    • External Domain: For external domains, point them to FirstDNS for setup.
  5. Install Plugins: Choose plugins during setup (pre-vetted by WPGO) or install any plugin later via the WordPress dashboard.

  6. Completion and Access Details: Once set up, your website will be ready quickly. Receive login details via email to your contact address.

Considerations:

  • Domain Pointing: Using a free domain may affect SEO; ensure your own domain is correctly pointed if switching later.
  • Themes: Change themes via the WordPress dashboard post-setup.
  • Plan Limits: Check if multiple websites are allowed under your plan.
  • Security: WPGO offers security features, so be assured of measures against issues like malware.
