In this video, I'm going to be going over how to get a Bluehost free domain name step by step.
I'll also be providing you with a Bluehost discount so you can save some money on your
Bluehost web hosting purchase. You will get up to 70% off Bluehost hosting plus a free domain name.
Let's get started with the Bluehost free domain name tutorial.
The first thing you want to do to get a free domain name from Bluehost is
to click the link in the description below so you can be taken to Bluehost
and so you can take advantage of the Bluehost discount by getting up to 70%
off + a free domain name. The discount is automatically applied.
A little disclosure. The link is an affiliate link, meaning I'll receive a commission from
Bluehost at no extra cost to you. Plus you'll get an awesome Bluehost discount.
Once you click the link in the description below you'll be on the Bluehost
page. Click the get started button. You'll now be on the Bluehost plans page.
I do want to note to get a free domain name from Bluehost you have to purchase
a hosting plan with Bluehost. You can get Bluehost hosting for as low as $2.95 a month
which will cost just $35.40 depending on the Bluehost plan and term you choose.
On the Bluehost plans page you'll see three different plans you can choose from. There’s
a 4th plan underneath these. There’s the Basic, Plus, Choice Plus, and Pro Plan.
After you choose a Bluehost hosting plan you’ll be able to choose your free domain name.
Let me cover each of the plans and then show you how to get your free Bluehost domain name.
The Basic plan is a great plan if you are going to have just one site.
If you are going to have multiple sites the plus plan is a good plan as it allows unlimited
websites and it includes a Bluehost Package extra 1 Spam Experts also known as Sitelock Security.
The Choice Plus plan allows unlimited websites and comes with free domain privacy, 1 Spam
Experts also known as Sitelock Security, and Codeguard Basic which is free automated backups.
The Pro plan comes with unlimited websites and includes a high performance server,
domain privacy + protection, dedicated IP, and Site Backup. For most, the basic,
plus, or choice plus plan is what you’d want to choose from. You can always upgrade to the Pro
plan as your site traffic grows to a high volume. I’m going to choose the Basic plan for this
tutorial. Once you decide on a plan to choose click the select button.
You’ll now be on the domain page where you can choose your free domain name for your site.
You can type in and search available domains under the create a new domain.
If you can’t decide on a domain name you can click the create my domain later link
and you can choose your free domain name at a later date in the Bluehost dashboard.
Click next to proceed to the next step. You’ll now be on the create your account page.
You now want to input your account information.
Next, is the package information section. It’ll have the Bluehost plan you chose.
You’ll see you’ll get the cheapest pricing with the 12-month term.
You’ll see domain registration free as well as the Let’s Encrypt SSL Certificate being free.
Next, is the Bluehost package extras section.
What you see here can vary on the plan you chose as some plans come with some of these.
All of these Bluehost package extras are completely optional and up to you whether
you want any of them or not. I do recommend domain privacy + protection as it'll keep
your personal information private so that spammers and telemarketers won't have access
to your personal information and contact you by phone and email with offers of their services.
When you register a domain name no matter what company you choose the domain goes into the public
whois database as domain names are regulated. If you select domain privacy + protection
it'll show Bluehost’s default contact information instead of yours.
Highly recommend domain privacy + protection.
After you select any Bluehost package extras you’d like you can enter your payment information
in the next section. Select that you have read and agree to the terms and conditions and click
the submit button. You have successfully purchased Bluehost web hosting. Bluehost will now email you
your Bluehost receipt. You are now directed to a page where you can create your Bluehost account
so you can login to the Bluehost dashboard where you can begin in creating your site.
