1. Clear the cache on your browser and then reload your website. If you don't know how to
do this, just search how in Google with whatever browser you're using (for example search
for: how to clear cache on browser Google Chrome or how to clear cache on browser Inter-
net Explorer). It should only take a few minutes to clear your cache. Once you do this, try
reloading your website to see if you now have the default WordPress installation on there.
2. Wait some time. Sometimes it takes a while for the whole process to complete with the
new domain connecting to the servers and then the installation process. It supposedly can
take up to 24 hours for all of this to complete, but I've never seen it take longer than a
couple of hours.
Note
: To add WordPress to other domains within your account, you have to do one addi-
tional step. Within your cPanel, go to “Addon Domains” under the “Domains” category.
Once inside, type your domain in the “New Domain Name” box (you must have already
purchased this domain earlier and it must be within your Black Steel Hosting account).
In the “Subdomain or FTP Username” box, pick a username and write it down somewhere.
In the “Document Root” box, the information should have auto-filled in after you typed in
your “New Domain Name”, so just leave it as is. Then pick your password (make it hard!)
and also write it down somewhere. Then press the “Add Domain” button and you are set.
Now start the exact same process as earlier, by scrolling down to the “WordPress” button
under the “Softaculous Apps Installer” category. :)
