🚀Quickstart

This section is brief and lacking information by design. If you need to know more about aspects i cover in this quickstart guide you will find them in this documentation.

First you will need a company domain name for example "big-comps.com" these can be purchased at namecheap.com or any other domain registrar.

Create a server

You will need a server to host your website. This basically a computer that runs 24/7 that allows your customers to connect to your website from anywhere in the world.

To create a server head over to breezywp.com, make an account and then click the blue button to create a server. I recommend SVR2.

Create your website

Once your website has been built & ready, click into your server and "Create Site".

In the popup add your domain name for example "yourdomain.co.uk"

Do not add - "www." or "http" just the above layout, everything else will be added for you.

Once you create click create website - leave it to work its magic for around 3-5min until clicking on it under "current sites"

Connecting your domain to your server

In the first step on this quick start guide you purchased a domain name. You will now have to navigate your way to the DNS settings in this domain and create an "A record" that points to the server IP Address, copy your address from the server page on breezywp.com.

Next add the following "A Record"

• Type: "A"

• Host: @

• Value: "Your IP Address"

You can also add another "A Record" for "www." should you want it to redirect to your non www. domain.

• Type: "A"

• Host: @

• Value

Test Your Website

Before moving on its time to test your website. Type your domain name into your web browser and if you see the following screen, you are good to go!

Login to your website at yourdomain.co.uk/wp-admin using the login information on your breezywp.com website.

Installing the Template

Next up is to purchase the Competition Raffle Template and download it onto your website.

Once you click download this will send commands of to your server and install the "all in one migration" plugin while also downloading the template for your to click Restore on in the next step.

Now head back over to the admin section of your website (/wp-admin), click on backups and then restore > Proceed.

All being well a success message will appear and now you just need to visit the homepage of your website (yourdomain.co.uk) to see the website live!

Finishing up.

To finish up, lets quickly secure the website with an SSL certificate, head over to breezywp.com website and click "Install SSL" and choose Automated. This will take a few minutes to complete so give it time before requesting another certificate.

Next up is to reinstate the admin username and password since we overwritten it when we installed the template.

Click Actions > Reinstate BreezyWP Admin Login > Run

You will now need to login again using your admin username and password shown above on breezywp.com
