How to Install WordPress on an Addon Domain

WordPress is installable on any domain regardless of whether it is your primary domain or a secondary domain. With Softaculous, you can install WordPress on an addon domain in the same way that you would install WordPress on your primary domain.

This does not require a WordPress.org account prior to setup.
