Let's dive in.
The first thing you want to do is head on over to Bluehost via the link that I provided
in the description.
Bluehost is where we will be getting a free domain name and our exclusive up to 63% off
web hosting discount.
Make sure you click the link in the description to get this great Bluehost deal.
You can also enter wpcupidblog.com/go/bluehost in the search address bar like you see here.
I do want to mention that the link is an affiliate link and I'll receive a commission which helps
support this channel and helps put out more WordPress tutorial videos.
Once you click the link in the description below or enter wpcupidblog.com/go/bluehost,
you'll be at 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 four different options.
You’ll see a Basic plan, Plus plan, Choice Plus plan, and a Pro plan.
I recommend going with the basic plan, and then you can always scale up whenever you’d
like.
If you have more than one website, then you’d want to choose either the plus plan or choice
plus plan.
The Pro plan I would recommend upgrading too in the future once your site gets running
and starts bringing in lots of traffic and revenue.
I’m going to 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 the 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 it to be a .com, .net, .org, etc.… .com
is the most popular domain extension so I’d recommend going with a .com if you can.
I’m going to type in a domain here and click the next button.
You are now brought to a create your account page.
This is where you will input your information.
We have first name, last name.
Business name is optional.
Put your country address information.
Put a phone number and lastly the best email for you as you’ll get emailed a receipt
of payment and a copy of your login credentials, etc.
Below that you will see package information.
You’ll see account 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 going to select the 12 months package.
Domain registration is free.
Let's Encrypt SSL is free.
This SSL feature is a free SSL Certificate which makes your site secure with the green
bar and with the https.
Next, you'll be at package extras which is Bluehost's addon services that are optional
to get.
Domain Privacy is an addon 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 show Bluehost's information for the site and not yours.
Sitelock security find is security for your WordPress website and protects it from hackers.
I’d unselect this as there are really good free alternatives.
You’ll see Codeguard.
Codeguard creates daily backups 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 can keep unselected.
This addon will submit your site to search engines and provide a report on your site
ranking and keyword rankings.
Submitting your site to search engines you can do for free.
This isn’t necessary to have.
Office 365 Email Essentials is the email software Microsoft Outlook that is commonly included
with Microsoft Office.
If you'd like to have your email powered by this Microsoft addon feel free to keep this
selected.
This isn't necessary to have.
All of these addons are completely optional and up to you to get.
As you can see you're saving a lot for this hosting package.
Below that you will input your payment information.
I’m not going to fill this out for protection of personal information.
Once your information is filled in you want to select the I have read and agreed to Bluehost’s
privacy policy and terms of service.
Now click the submit button.
You are now brought to a page where you will choose a password for your Bluehost account.
Click the create your password button.
Input the password you would like.
Click the I have read and agreed to Bluehost's Privacy Policy and Terms and Condition and
click the next button.
You will be directed to a congratulations page.
Click the blue login button to log in to Bluehost.
Bluehost is also going to at this time email your dashboard login information to the email
address you provided.
You will now see pick your Theme.
Bluehost has a bunch of awesome free themes to choose from.
You can select a Theme now if you want too or below the Themes you can click skip this
step.
If you choose a Theme now, you can always change the theme you pick without any problem
at a later date.
Once you choose your free Theme or click skip this step you'll be at the page here stating
all done.
