What happens after ordering hosting

May 9, 2026 • Getting Started

After ordering Host Luma managed WordPress hosting, the platform prepares your hosting account and WordPress website so you can get started without manually installing WordPress yourself.

Step 1: Your payment is processed securely

Checkout is handled securely through Stripe. Once payment is complete, Host Luma receives the order details needed to prepare your hosting service.

Step 2: Your hosting account is created

Your hosting account is provisioned on the Host Luma managed platform. This includes the hosting space, server configuration and account-level setup.

Step 3: WordPress is installed

WordPress is installed and prepared for your website. Host Luma may also apply recommended managed hosting settings such as caching, performance optimisation and basic hardening.

Step 4: You receive your welcome information

Your welcome details may include your preview website link.

You may receive your WordPress login link.

You may receive cPanel access details if required.

You may receive guidance for pointing your domain to Host Luma.

Step 5: Your domain can be connected

If your real domain is not pointing to Host Luma yet, you can use the preview website while DNS is being updated.

Important notes

DNS changes are not instant. When you update nameservers, your website may take a few minutes to 24 hours to load everywhere.
