Step 1. Setup

One of the most common mistakes that beginners make is choosing the
wrong website platform. Thankfully, you are here so you will not be making
that mistake.
For most users, a self-hosted WordPress.org site is the perfect solution. It
comes with thousands of designs and addons which allow you to create any
kind of website you can think of. For more on this topic, please see our guide
on why you should use WordPress.
WordPress is free for anyone to download and use to build any kind of
website without any restrictions.
If WordPress is free, then where is the cost coming from?
WordPress is free because you’ll have to arrange your own domain name and
hosting, which costs money. For more on this topic, see our article why is
WordPress free?.
A domain name is your website’s address on the internet. This is what your
users will type in their browsers to reach your site (For example,
wpbeginner.com or google.com).
Next, you’ll need website hosting. All websites on the internet need hosting.
This will be your website’s home on the internet.
A domain name typically costs $14.99/year and hosting costs start from
$7.99/month.
This is A LOT for most people who are just starting out.
Thankfully, Bluehost, has agreed to offer our users a free domain name and
over 60% off on web hosting.

We would get this commission for recommending any WordPress hosting
company, but we only recommend products that we personally use and

Let’s go ahead and purchase domain name and hosting.
First, you’ll need to go to the Bluehost website in a new browser window and
click on the green ‘Get Started Now’ button.

Ideally you should stick to a .com domain name. Make sure that it is related
to your business, easy to pronounce and spell, and easy to remember.

on how to choose the best domain name.
After choosing your domain name, click on the next button to continue.
Now you’ll be asked to provide your account information such as name,
address, email, etc.
On this screen, you will also see optional extras that you can purchase. We
generally don’t recommend purchasing these extras. You can always add
them later on, if you decide that you need them.
Next, you will add your payment information to finish the purchase.
After completing your purchase, you’ll receive an email with details on how
to login to your web hosting control panel (cPanel).
This is your hosting dashboard where you manage everything like getting
support, setting up emails, etc. Most importantly, this is where you’ll install
WordPress.
