We recommend our Wordpress hosting plan if you want to get the best performance possible out of your Wordpress site.  You can install Wordpress on a Wordpress plan using the Wordpress Toolkit:

Log in to cPanel > click on WordPress toolkit on the left

Plesk\cPanel (non-Wordpress) plans:

Log in to the control panel for your plan:

How do I access the cPanel control panel?

Once in Plesk go to: Applications  > Featured Applications > Press Install beside the application you want to install

If you have an application already installed it will install to /application_name.  Otherwise it will automatically install the application to the root of your website.
