# Creating New Instance

The process of adding a new instance can differ depending on the selected product and plan configuration.

In some setups, the flow is very short (for example, only location/domain input). In others, additional configuration steps are available.

Use the flow below as a reference. If one step does not appear in your panel, continue to the next one.

# Exemplary workflow

  1. Open Add New in the top-right corner of Client Area.
  1. Choose installation type:
  • Create New WordPress Instance
  • Import Existing WordPress Instance

Then click Continue.

  1. Depending on plan/onboarding settings, one of the first steps can be:
  • choosing a datacenter/location (for example WP Cloud),
  • choosing a theme/template,
  • or moving directly to domain/site configuration.
  1. If you have multiple hosting services, select the target hosting service for the new instance.
  1. Configure installation details shown for your plan. Depending on onboarding mode, available fields can include:
  • Domain and related options
  • Clean installation vs clone/template
  • Language
  • Database name and prefix
  • WordPress admin credentials (username, password, email)
  1. Confirm by clicking Continue / Create Site (label depends on onboarding flow). Instance creation runs asynchronously and may take a few minutes.

  2. After installation, you can still adjust domain settings using Change Domain in instance details.
