# How to create an empty WordPress site on eQPress

If you want to start fresh with a new WordPress website on eQPress (without migrating an existing site), follow these steps:

![hosting_tab_a.png](https://deflect.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/hosting_tab_a-1024x493.png)

1. **Visit the Deflect Dashboard** Go to [Deflect Dashboard](https://deflect.ca/dashboard) and log in.
2. **Navigate to the Hosting Tab** Once logged in, click on the **“Hosting”** tab in the main navigation.
3. **Request eQPress Hosting** You will see a section describing eQPress — our free, secure WordPress hosting service. Click on the **“Request eQPress Hosting”** button.
4. **Fill Out the Form** Complete the request form with the required details. **Important:** In the message or comments section of the form, clearly state that you want to create a **new empty WordPress site** (not a migration). This helps the systems team set up a blank installation for you.
5. **Wait for Follow-Up** Once the form is submitted, a support ticket will be created. Our systems team will contact you shortly with further details, access credentials, or any additional questions needed to complete the setup.
