To use your temporary URL with WordPress, simply install WordPress on the domain itself. Do not be concerned with the temporary URL yet.
Next you will need to locate the wp-config.php file in file manager in cPanel. The wp-config.php file will be located in the root folder where you initially installed WordPress.
Next, you will need to right-click on the file and select "code edit".
This will open the actual code of the file, and you will need to insert two lines of code to the top of the file to set your temporary URL as the way to access your WordPress installation.
define('WP_HOME','temporary url
define('WP_SITEURL','temporary url
Where "temporary url" use the tempoprary url you got with your account instructions that is the ipadress/username
Save the changes by clicking the "save change" button in the upper right corner.
