Getting started

After getting a domain, you will be introduced to the C-Panel environment. Some of the more common apps that are installed include, among others:

  • WordPress (for creating websites and blogs)
  • Omeka (for exhibits and archives)
  • Scalar (for multimodal digital scholarship)

Another options is to access your Domain via SSH key.

The video below (at the 1 minute mark) explains how to install WordPress on to your Domain.
