How to Create a WordPress Blog?
There are four steps you have to follow to start a blog in WordPress.
Step 1: Choose Web hosting and Sign up (I highly recommend Bluehost)
Bluehost is officially recommended by WordPress and offers the best WordPress hosting service. If you are looking for a non-EIG company to host your website then A2 Hosting is the best alternative to Bluehost.
Now First Click here to go to the Bluehost Sign-up page. Then click on the green-colored “get started now” button.
Step 2: Select the hosting plan (basic plan is best for beginners)
There are three types of shared hosting plans: Basic, Plus, and Prime. Choose any one shared hosting plan. For beginners, a Basic plan is the best to create a blog in WordPress.
Step 3: Select domain name for your blog (It’s Free!)
To create a blog, you need a name for your blog. Select one unique domain name with popular domain extensions like .com, .net, .org etc. Bluehost provides a free domain for all shared hosting plans.
Step 4: Complete Sign up Process
Now it’s time to complete the signup process. You can directly sign in with your Google account. If you don’t want to sign in with google then fill in all the required account information to create an account.
After filling in all account information, select account plan: Basic 36 Months.
There are also other add-ons options available like domain privacy protection, SiteLock security, Codeguard. You can enable these options according to your requirement and interest.
Now you can make payment for your selected hosting plan. There are few payment options available like credit cards and PayPal.
After filling in your payment details, click on the submit button.
If you will be asked for any special offer or any upgrades, you can skin them all by clicking on the “no thanks” link.
Once you complete the payment process, it will ask you to create a password for your account. Click on “Create your password” and enter a strong password that you can remember easily but not any other person.
After creating a password, a window will pop up with the login option. Here you can log in to your WordPress website.
When you are successfully logged in, It will ask you to select a theme for your blog.
These themes are free. But they are not SEO-optimized themes and are also not good for blogging. So I recommended you choose different WordPress themes.
You can choose here the best google Adsense optimized WordPress themes to get more revenue if you have planned to make money from google adsense.
If you want to build a WordPress website for your business, you can find here the best business WordPress themes for 2022.
