Literally stuck at step 1. No matter what I do I always get: "Warning: Invalid CMS Database. Please go back to Step 1". Can't tell if I am missing something completely obvious or not. I am not using Xampp, but phpMyAdmin built into my cPanel given by my server host.

You need to create the CMS database manually. So go make a database and then when it asks for a database for the CMS, put the name of the database you created specifically for the CMS.
Please note: If you're using a web-host, Azer CMS is written with the explicit intention of being hosted on the same machine as the private server, and may or may not have functionality issues if hosted on a different machine rather than the intended machine.

Okay so did what you said. Originally I was using izanami_cms, but it wasn't working, so made another one izanami_web. Both are empty. Fresh, new databases. While the tc_auth and tc_char are both the SQL files from the Trinity core.
Did you want me to fill the database up completely manually or leave it blank? Should I just refund my $400 from my current host and just use it on my VPS like you stated?

You can attempt manual installation if you would like. I will include the steps below needed in order to perform a successful manual installation.
Be sure to remember to set a Staff ID for your account and all other accounts. To access the ACP, the account will also need a rank of 2 (in the account table located in auth). Again, it is best to stick to the intended use-case of the CMS, but if you wish to utilize a web-host, that is your decision.
- Download these two files: CMS Database Contents (v3.1.4), Auth DB Columns
- Browse to your Auth Database and run the SQL file for the Auth DB Columns
- Browse to your CMS Database and run the SQL file to install the database
- Go to the global table in your newly installed CMS Database and refer to this FAQ to fill in the necessary information
- Go to ./core/config/, make a new file called config.php
- Edit config.php and copy in the contents of the config for v3.1.4 and later (see here)
- Edit the config to have the appropriate values
- Delete the install folder
