1. How to Set Up WordPress for Your Blog.
Here is my preferred starter setup, which combines the finest features with the lowest price.
- Go to Bluehost.com and selecting Get Started Now.
- Select on the Choice Plus Plan.
- Your desired domain name should be entered.
- Enter the details of your account.
- Based on how long you want to pay, select an account plan under Package Information. (Remember that all programs come with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so there’s no risk!)
- The package extras are not necessary, so uncheck them.
- Finish making your purchase, pick a password, and log in to your Bluehost account.
- When prompted, select “blog” rather than answering the onboarding questions.
- When it comes to selecting your theme, choose “skip.” (That will be resolved eventually.)
- You may access WordPress by clicking the WordPress button in the top right corner of the Bluehost dashboard.
Big congratulations! Your WordPress blog is now self-hosted!
Other factors to take into account while selecting a name through a domain name registrar include the following:
- Your name should be simple to type, memorable, and remembered.
- Keep the name simple to spell and pronounce in order to avoid confusing people.
- Use of hyphens and digits (numbers) in your own domain should be avoided as they may cause confusion.
- Keep your name vague in case you need to switch to a related subject or niche.
