WordPress blog a little about Bluehost

that the link is an affiliate link and
I'll receive the Commission which helps
support this channel and officers put
out more WordPress tutorial videos once
you click the link it you'll be at the
host homepage you'll see the get started
now button on the page click the button
this is where you can select your
hosting plan you'll see three different
options you'll see a basic plan Plus
plan and a prime plan I recommend going
with the basic plan and then you can
always scale up whenever you like if you
have more than one website then you want
to choose either the plus plan or prime
plan I'm gonna choose the basic plan for
this tutorial as this is most common go
ahead and hit the select button
whichever plan you would like to use we
are now brought to a domain page where
we can choose a domain name that we want
completely free or if you already have a
domain name you'd enter it in over on
the right for the new domain you can
select if you want to be a.com dotnet
dot org etc dot-com is the most popular
domain extension so I'd recommend going
with a dot-com if you can I'm gonna type
in a domain here and click the next
button
you're now brought to a create your
account page this is where you'll input
your information we have first name last
name the business name is optional put
your country address information in put
a phone number and lastly the best email

plan this is where you can select the
term for your hosting package you have
12 months 24 months 36 months and 60
months as you can see you'll save money
the longer you purchase your hosting for
I'm gonna select the 12 months package
setup fee is free domain registration is
free let's encrypt SSL is free this SSL
feature is a free SSL certificate which
makes you site secure with the green bar
and with the HTTPS the main privacy is
an add-on that I highly recommend it
will prevent telemarketers and marketers
getting a hold of your personal contact
information and bugging you with their
services the domain privacy will shell
Bluehost information for the site and
not yours site lock security fine is
security for your WordPress website and
protects it from hackers

good free alternatives you'll see code

and allows you to restore your site with
a click of a button in case something
happens there are free alternatives that
work just the same SEO tools start you
