Steps

Needed to build a WordPress website:

• A domain name – this is the name of your website such as google.com
• WordPress hosting – this is where your website files are stored
• Recommended: self-hosted WordPress as website platform: WordPress is the most popular website platform in the world. It powers nearly 28% of all websites on the internet. It is free, comes with thousands of website designs and extensions, is flexible and works with almost every third-party tool and service available.
• WordPress is free because you’ll need to arrange your own domain name and hosting, which is where the costs are.
• A domain name typically costs $14.99 a year, while hosting starts from about $7.99 a month, $95.88 a year. However, Bluehost, one of the largest hosting companies in the world, offers WP beginner users a free domain name and over 60% off on web hosting.
• First, go to the Bluehost website in a new browser window and click on the green ‘Get Started Now’ button.
