  • Then the installation page will appear

Normally the installation page will open up with the ‘Custom’ installation interface. But there’s another interface available which is the ‘Quick install’ method. For your information, the custom install is the best option between these two. Also, it contains all of the options which are available in the Quick install interface.

For this reason, we will describe the custom install process here.

  • If you want you can use the quick interface by clicking on the ‘Quick Install’ button

Another thing, we will split the whole ‘Custom install’ interface part by part to make it easier to understand. So let’s start with the first step.

Software setup:

  • Choose Protocol: there will be two options. ‘Https://’ is for the sites which have SSL protection. And, ‘http:// is for the sites which don’t have SSL protection. If you have select either of those. You don’t need to choose the other two options such as- ‘https://www’ and ‘http://www
Choose Protocol

  • Choose Domain: automatically, the primary domain will be selected. But, if you have multiple domains connected to your hosting account, you need to select your preferred one from the drop-down list
  • In Directory: if you are a beginner. You can skip this option for now. For your information, this is related to your domain. For instance, if you want your visitors to find your site on your primary domain e.g. ‘yoursite.com’. Then keep the box empty. But, if you want your site to be found on a sub-directory like ‘yoursite.com/store’. Then type the directory name on the box. In this case, the directory name would be ‘store’

Note: You need to save or note down the information from this section

  • Admin Username: you will notice that already there’s a username on the box. You can change it or not. It depends on you. But, if you change it. Remember that do not use any normal username like user, admin, administrator etc. Because, it will make the security of your site vulnerable. Daily, millions of sites are being hacked. So, if anyone tries to hack your site. Then it will be very easy to guess your username, if you use any generic one
  • Admin Password: ‘YetiForce’ are very strict about their password. So, you have to follow a set of rules to make a viable password. The rule is: Password must contain at least one number and one uppercase and lowercase letter, and at least 8 or more characters. Now, you will see that the password box also contains an auto-generated password. But, chances are the auto-generated one will not be according to the required rules. So, change the password according to the rules
  • First Name: it is not that important. You can keep the default one or you can use your own first name here
  • Last Name: Similarly, you can leave it as it is. But, you can also change it to your own last name
  • Admin Email: this is an important option. Always, provide a personal email address of yours. Normally, this email will be used to send the login credentials later to you. Also, it will be needed if you need to reset the password anytime

Congratulations! You have just installed ‘YetiForce’ on your SiteGround web host. As we said, it was pretty easy to do. But, now if you want to reap the benefit of this installation. You need to log in to the back-end of your site first.

How to log in:

  • Visit the ‘Administrative URL’ which you got after the installation. If you haven’t saved it. Then you can find the URL by applying this little trick below. The default structure of the ‘YetiForce’ admin URL is ‘yoursite.com/index.php’. So, change the part ‘yoursite’ to your own domain name and you will be able to go to the login page of your new site
