Welcome back for this chapter 3 of ”How to start a blog”

I encourage you to read Chapter 1 & 2 if you didn’t it. It will be cool to have a better view of what you want to achieve.

Let’s go for the last steps in the installation of your self hosted blog.

What I did to create Active Wirehead without writing a line of code

Domain name / Domain hosting / web applications (including my main blog tool)

For all these services I chose a 1-click Install with a single company.

Why? Because I didn’t have any experience and it was the easy way to start and do my first step in the Matrix 🙂

I chose BlueHost because they promote WordPress (Be careful there are 2 ”wordpress”. I’m talking about WordPress.org) which is a major blog tool in the blogger community: amateur and professional included.

Even WordPress.org recommend them: http://wordpress.org/hosting/

BluHost One Click

With BlueHost I had

  • unlimited domain hosting
  • unlimited hosting space
  • unlimited file transfer
  • unlimited email accounts
  • free domain name
  • free site builder w/ templates
  • free instant set-up

 

Major steps to have your blog Live!

  • Buy an account on BlueHost
  • Logging In
  • click on Install scripts in your C-Panel (Your control panel in BlueHost after you logged in)
  • Choose WordPress
  • Click Install
  • Select your Domain name where you want to install WordPress
  • Wait for install..
  • Et voilà!!

Don’t believe me? Seems I missed some steps? What better than some video to show you how to do it

 How to Use WordPress (1 of 7) – Intro

How to Use WordPress (2 of 7) – Installing WordPress on your Bluehost Account

Bluehost is a large, reputable hosting company, with strong 24/7 support. I already tested the help desk twice and they answered very accurately to my questions. Because I’m not living in USA I chose them to talk to them by chat.  They have a very professional support. Big point for me.

You also will find tons of video on how to create post/pages/menu…Everything you will need to create the blog you dreamt of 🙂

But you also have a look on the documentation directly on wordpress.org
