How to install WordPress with Softaculous:
We provide Softaculous on all shared hosting plans, making it easy to install WordPress in just a few clicks.
Steps:
- Log into cPanel and find the Softaculous Apps Installer under the Software section.
- Click on WordPress and select Install Now.
- Enter your site details, including your site name, description, admin username, and a strong password. Use your anonymous email here.
- Choose https:// for security, and leave the directory field empty if you want your site at your main domain (e.g., domain.com).
- Pick a lightweight theme (or keep the default, you can change it later).
- Click Install and wait a few seconds.
Your WordPress site is now live.

Tweaks for Security:
Once your site is live, take these important steps to boost performance and security:
- Force HTTPS: Activate SSL (Let’s Encrypt is included) and ensure your site always uses secure connections.
- Update PHP: Use the latest PHP version via cPanel for better performance and security. FlokiNET webspace automatically updates the PHP version as long as you keep the default version
- Have mod security enabled. By default our webspace has mod security enabled for extra security.
- Optional: Set Up a .onion Mirror (VPS only) – For maximum privacy, create a Tor hidden service (.onion site) alongside your main site to ensure censorship resistant access. You can understand more details about why and how to use Tor in our blog post What is the Tor Network?
- Scrub WordPress Footprints: Hide your WordPress version, Disable unused APIs (like the REST API if not needed), change your login URL for extra protection
Why anonymous hosting matters:
Privacy is a fundamental right. The ability to publish content or run an organization without exposing your identity is crucial.
Anonymous hosting supports:
- Protection for activists, journalists, and whistleblowers
- Freedom for privacy-focused bloggers and creators
- Protection against censorship and retaliation
It’s important to note that while anonymous hosting is legal and ethical, we have a clear policy against abuse. Illegal activities are not tolerated on our network.
