To host OpenCart on Liquid Web, you can follow these steps:

  1. Choose a Liquid Web hosting plan that suits your needs. Liquid Web offers various hosting options such as dedicated servers, VPS (Virtual Private Servers), and managed WooCommerce hosting.
  2. Sign up for the chosen hosting plan and proceed with the setup process.
  3. Once your hosting account is set up, log in to your Liquid Web control panel (usually cPanel) using your provided credentials.
  4. Navigate to the section called "Domains" or "Domain Manager" in the control panel.
  5. Add your domain or subdomain where you want to install OpenCart. This step involves configuring DNS settings, creating the necessary DNS records, and pointing your domain/subdomain to the Liquid Web hosting IP.
  6. Set up a database for OpenCart. In the control panel, look for the "Databases" section and create a new MySQL database. Make sure to note down the database name, username, and password as you will need them during the OpenCart installation process.
  7. Download the latest version of OpenCart from the official OpenCart website (https://www.opencart.com) or from the OpenCart GitHub repository.
  8. Use an FTP client like FileZilla to connect to your Liquid Web hosting account.
  9. Upload the downloaded OpenCart files to the appropriate directory on your hosting account. Usually, this would be the public_html folder or a subfolder within it.
  10. Extract the OpenCart files if needed.
  11. In a web browser, access your domain or subdomain where you uploaded the OpenCart files. For example, if you uploaded OpenCart to "example.com," visit "http://example.com" to initiate the installation process.
  12. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the OpenCart installation. When prompted, enter the database details you created in step 6.
  13. After the installation is complete, you will have an operational OpenCart store hosted on Liquid Web.


Remember to regularly update and secure your OpenCart installation to ensure optimal performance and security.
