How To Set up a WordPress Website: Part Two Hosting Service and C-Panel
After you have your keywords and have decided on a domain name, the next step is to sign up for web hosting service to host your site. There are many hosting services, but the two that I use are BlueHost and HostGator. In this video I show how to sign up for hosting and how to navigate your hosting control panel.
BlueHost: The Best Web Hosting for Small Business Owners
There are two things that I like about the BlueHost C-panel that other hosting C-panels don’t offer. First, BlueHost has a built in FTP client so you can upload themes, plugins, files, and folders right from your C-panel. The second thing that I like is being able to purchase and add new domains right from the C-panel.
BlueHost.com offers professional web hosting, and they are currently offering that for under $6.00 per month (as of June 8, 2011). BlueHost has been providing web hosting services for businesses and individuals since 1996. They claim over 20,000 new customers a month.
With unlimited domain hosting, unlimited gigabytes of hosting space, unlimited file transfer, and unlimited e-mail accounts, BlueHost is a company you should consider when shopping for a web hosting and other services. It’s a good destination when considering your next move toward starting any kind of website, whether it’s a blog or for e-commerce.
In addition to the features mentioned above, BlueHost also includes a free domain name (which they can help you find on their site), free Site Builder with templates, and a $75 Google credit.
Affiliate Disclosure: I personally use the downloadable products that I promote on this site. I am grateful to be of service and bring you as much content free of charge.
