Install WordPress in four steps
- Sign up for free and pick an address such as yourblog.lxi.be.
- Confirm your email; your hosting is set up automatically.
- Open the control panel from the customer centre and choose WordPress in the web apps installer. It creates the database for you.
- Log in at yourblog.lxi.be/wp-admin, pick a theme and publish your first post.
The same installer also offers ClassicPress, a lightweight WordPress fork with the classic editor.
Keep it safe
- Update WordPress, themes and plugins regularly.
- Install only the plugins you need and delete unused ones.
- Use a long, unique admin password and avoid the username “admin”.
- Create a backup in the control panel before larger changes.
Make WordPress your own
Set WordPress to your preferred language and choose the design that suits your project. Manage files in the browser or WordPress dashboard. The customer centre and control panel are in German and work with browser translation.
When your site grows, Pro gives you 50 GB for €9.99 per month. Your website stays in place while you gain more room.
