How to Log in to WordPress With GoDaddy

WordPress can be installed on GoDaddy to customize your website in minutes.

GoDaddy is a service that enables you to purchase your domain and host it on GoDaddy's servers. You can choose to self-install the WordPress software -- if you are familiar with database creation -- or you can use GoDaddy's one step installation process. Once WordPress is installed on your website, you'll see a "Hello World" post on your front page, along with the standard WordPress theme. In order to make any changes, you must log in through the WordPress Admin panel.

Things You'll Need

• WordPress installed on GoDaddy's server
• Installation email with password

Instructions

1. Locate the installation email sent to you during the WordPress installation process. The installation email was sent to the email address you specified during installation. It contains your WordPress password.

2. Navigate to your domain's WordPress log in panel. The address to log in is http://yourdomain/wp-admin where "yourdomain" is the actual name of your domain. For example, if your website is named "mywebsite.com" then navigate to "http://www.mywebsite.com/wp-admin."

3. Type "admin" as the user name and then type the password sent to you in the email.

4. Click the "Log In" button.

Tips & Warnings

• If you cannot locate the email with the password, click the "Lost your password" link on the WP Admin screen. A new password link will be emailed to you, enabling you to reset your password.
