Before going into the process of installation, you need to do a tiny investment. Yes, WordPress is totally free but you need to purchase a domain name for your website and hosting as well. Your domain name could be any name you want to name your website with the extensions such as .com, .net,. in,. org, and many more. But the .com extension is the most universally recognized suffix to a domain name.
So if you are going to create a website with the name say Omlia, then with any of these extensions (suffix) your website might open as Omlia.com, Omlia.net, etc. I’ll suggest you pick up unique domains. I hope you get the idea. After purchasing the domain you need to host your website.
This might require a few bucks but it is also very cheap. These are only two essential investments you require at the beginning of your website journey. There are many platforms that provide hosting for your website.
These are a few of them:-
1) Bluehost
2) Hostinger
3) A2 hosting
4) Hostgator
5) Dreamhost
6) Siteground
7) Godaddy
8) GreenGeeks
9) Inmotion
10) IONOS
11) HostPapa
The installation process of wordpress through different hosting providers is almost the same, there’s no major difference. But in this tutorial, we’ll follow the installation process through Hostinger. Therefore, first, go to hostinger, choose a program of your interest among basic, standard, and premium offers.
From here you can pick any hosting for your website. I always recommend you search for hosting coupons before purchasing hosting. Here are quick steps to get hosting:-
1)Choose any plan that fits you well.
2)Now add this to your cart.
3) Select payment option( Credit Card recommended) 4)Apply a coupon if you have any and then make success payment.
I’m assuming that you’ve successfully purchased hosting for your website. Now, the next and one of the most important steps is to set up your website. For accomplishing this, you need to login into the c-panel of Hostinger using your credentials.
After using the same Google account that you used while purchasing hosting, you will directly be logged into your c-panel of Hostinger. After accessing your c-panel you need to follow these simple steps to set up wordpress.
