I went on my journey to find out how to host my own blog and not have a generic one like I did with Blogger and Typepad. My results were great and right on target of what I wanted. I am not a computer programmer nor do I want to be, but I did want a customized blog. What I found was the following.
Bluehost had exactly what I needed. This is how basic I am; I started by looking for what wordpress recommended, a fantastico logo that is a blue smiley face. They also wanted to make sure they had what is called cPanel.
Once I went to the website I signed up for one year at $7.95 month which is very affordable and then they gave me a free domain name. So when you sign up, make sure you have a domain name in mind and one that is available for purchase, they will give this to you for free.
The next thing you do is log into your account which will have a lot of icons, this is the cPanel interface. Along the left hand side you will see Wordpress, click on that and then you will have the option to install Wordpress, they will have the latest version ready for you to install. Simply fill in the boxes along with your email and then you are ready to blog.
It’s that easy and once you’ve done it once, you can do it again without a problem. Remember now that you have your space, you can continue to add domains to your web host by adding subdomains. There is no limit to the amount of domains you can add. So go ahead and build your blog empire. I am and I’m going to do it on my Bluehost account.
