How to sign up with Bluehost | Step by step Bluehost signup tutorial.
Hey guys, Bryan with WP Cupid Blog and in this video, I'm going to be going over how
to sign up with Bluehost step by step.
Bluehost is an excellent web hosting company.
Bluehost is by far one of my favorite web hosting companies today.
By following this Bluehost signup tutorial not only, will you be signed up with Bluehost
in just a few minutes but you will receive a free domain name with your Bluehost hosting.
Let's dive in.
The first step is to visit Bluehost to get started in signing up with Bluehost.
I provided a link to Bluehost in the description.
Feel free to give it a click and follow me through the steps.
A little disclosure, the link is an affiliate link.
I’ll receive a commission which helps support this channel and helps us put out WordPress
tutorial videos on a regular basis.
Once you click the link and are on Bluehost you will see the green get started now button.
Click on the button to continue to the next step.
You'll now be on a page that shows Bluehost's plans, pricing, and features.
The most popular plan is the Plus plan as this includes unlimited websites, addon domains,
bandwidth, storage, and email accounts.
If you only need one site, then the basic plan would be a great option.
You can always upgrade to the plus or pro plan at a later date.
Once you find the Bluehost plan that works best for you just hit the select button on
the plan to continue to the next step.
You now want to choose a domain name for your site.
What's awesome is you will get a free domain name with your Bluehost web hosting.
You will see on the left-hand side a box where you can put in the domain name you would like
free and then you can select the domain extension .com, .net, .org, etc.
I recommend going with a .com if you can as this is the domain extension most people associate
sites with.
If you already have a domain name, then you just need to enter it in over in the box on
the right-hand side.
Click next to continue to the next step.
One thing to keep in mind is if your domain name is not with Bluehost you will want to
change your nameservers to point to Bluehost with whatever company you are using for your
domain name.
If you need help in doing this just send me an email and I will guide you through the
steps.
Bluehost's friendly customer service team can quickly assist you with this via chat,
phone, or email.
You now want to input your account information with your name, contact details, etc.
Next, you will see plan options to select.
You can purchase your Bluehost web hosting for 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, and 60
months.
You will notice the longer you buy your hosting for the better discount you will get with
your web hosting.
You will see some extra services that might be selected consisting of SiteLock Domain
Security, Site Backup Pro, Search Engine Jumpstart, and Domain Privacy.
I recommend that you consider domain privacy.
This will keep your contact information private so it's not out on the web for telemarketers
or marketers to get a hold of to call you and bug you about services they offer.
The other three addons really aren't necessary.
If you plan on using WordPress for your site there are free alternatives that work just
as great but this is entirely up to you.
The last step in signing up with Bluehost is to fill out your billing information.
Once you enter your billing information, click on the next button.
You have now successfully signed up with Bluehost web hosting.
Once you have purchased your Bluehost web hosting, you will receive a receipt via the
email address you provided.
You will also be emailed your login credentials for Bluehost's control panel which is also
known as CPanel.
Here's what the Bluehost CPanel looks like once you are logged in.
That is all there is to it!
I hope you enjoyed this bluehost signup tutorial.
