Optional Steps (depending on your needs):

7. Install SSL Certificate

• In your control panel, look for SSL/TLS management and install an SSL certificate for your domain.
• If your host provides Let’s Encrypt, you can use that to get a free SSL certificate.

8. Optimize Your Server

• Install caching mechanisms, such as WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache, to improve performance.
• Consider using a CDN (like Cloudflare) for better speed and security.

9. Security Enhancements

• Change the default wp-admin URL for better security.
• Install security plugins like Wordfence or iThemes Security.

With these steps, you should be able to deploy WordPress on your VPS through your control panel. Let me know if you need more specific instructions or if you're using a different type of control panel!
