How to Set Up WordPress Hosting

Go to the WordPress hosting plans available – for most people, the StartUp plan will do just fine to begin.

If you go grow fast, you can always upgrade to another plan seamlessly. On the next screen, enter the domain name you’d like to use.

And on Step 3, enter your account information to finalize your hosting plan.

After that, setting up your WordPress blog is easy – just follow Siteground’s instructions!

Quick Recap

• there are tons of good hosting options, just choose one and move on

Homework

Pick a website host and walk through the process of creating an account. If you’re using WordPress, which we recommend, you can choose to go with a WordPress hosting plan.

When you pick a host, you can also register your domain at the same time. It’s easy to do it this way and keep your domain and hosting together with the same company, though you can also register your domain somewhere else, like GoDaddy.

But in general, just keep it easy and register your domain wherever you’re hosting your blog.
