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
and 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 to enter
it in over on the right for the new domain you can select if you want it to

plugins you can use for your WordPress website search engine jumpstart you can
keep unselected this isn't necessary to have site lock security fine is security

services the domain privacy will show Bluehost information for the site and
not yours all of these add-ons are completely
optional and up to you to get as you can see you're saving a lot for this hosting
