How do I install Joomla on GoDaddy?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 8:15 am

To install Joomla on GoDaddy, first sign in to your account. If you don’t have an account, you can create one by clicking the link in the upper-left corner of the homepage.

Once you’re logged in, click the “Joomla!” tab in the left sidebar.

On the Joomla! tab, click the “Install Joomla!” button. On the next screen, click the “GoDaddy” button and enter your GoDaddy account details.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to install Joomla on GoDaddy, be aware that there are a few potential issues that you may encounter. First, GoDaddy does not provide full shell access to its hosting accounts, so you will not be able to use the Joomla installer directly. Instead, you will need to download the Joomla installation package and then upload it to your hosting account using FTP.

Second, GoDaddy uses a proprietary control panel interface instead of the more common cPanel interface. This can make it more difficult to manage your Joomla site once it is installed. Finally, GoDaddy’s customer support is not always knowledgeable about Joomla and may not be able to provide much assistance if you run into problems.

On the next screen, click the “Install” button.

After your installation is complete, you’ll be taken to the “Joomla! Setup” screen. On this screen, you’ll need to enter your site’s name, administrator name, and password.

After you’ve entered these details, click the “Finish” button.

Your Joomla! installation is now complete. To start using Joomla!, visit the “Joomla!” tab in the left sidebar, and then click the “Start” button.
