the Bluehost home page 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 on 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.com if you can
I'm gonna type in a domain here and
click the next button you were now
brought to a create your account page
this is where you will 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

hosting forward I'm gonna select the 12
months package setup fee is free domain

certificate which makes your site secure

highly recommend it will prevent
telemarketers and marketers getting
ahold of your personal contact

services the domain privacy will show
Bluehost information for the site and

it from hackers I done select this as
