Where to install WordPress

  • Hi’
    Just one last quick question.
    I want to install WordPress as a stand alone blog with the domain name of https://www.cashblog-n.com.
    In cPanel when I click on File Manager the box comes up giving me the options of all the domains I have there by themselves(cashblog-n.com) or with my main domain(cashblog-n.com.trygoogleadwords.com) added.
    I would choose cashblog-n.com by itself correct?
    Now I’m need to choose a directory to open, my choices being:
    Home Directory
    Web Root (public_html/www)
    Public FTP Root (public_ftp)
    Document Root for:
    I know this is simplistic stuff, but I want to get it right the first time.
    As always Thank You for your help
    Jerry

  • public_html = root folder = when you want something (WP) to appear at example.com

    Install it on cashblog-n.com by itself…yes.
    When you say “choose a directory to open”, it sounds like you are trying to access your files through the file manager or an ftp program. If its the filemanager, you can pick document root for: cashblog-n.com and that will load the files for your site, otherwise just pick the Web Root and your blog will either be installed there, or you can find the root for cashblog-n in there and go into that.
