Choosing a website name is a very important task. You can also name your organization or the name of your website after any words that can describe your business well.


There are some things to consider before choosing a good domain name:


  • Brandable - Seems unique, there's nothing else in the market

  • Easy to remember

  • In short - they are also easy to remember


Web hosting :


Web hosting is a type of Internet service that helps individuals and organizations make their website good and easy through the World Wide Web (WWW).


So now we will buy domain names and hosting


First, go to the Bluehost website in a new browser window and click on the green requirement. Now click on the Start button.



After clicking on Get Started Now you will be taken to the pricing page where you will not have to make a pricing tax for your website. The most basic and plus plan among popular users.


Clicking on the plan you like will go further to the next step:


The next step is to choose a new domain name:


After choosing the domain name, you proceeded by clicking on the Next button:




After this, you will add your payment information to end the purchase:


After completing your purchase, you will receive an email with the details of logging into your web hosting control panel (cPanel).



Many different icons will be found on your dashboard (C panel). Many of them are not useful, so we can ignore them.


Second Step: 



Click on the WordPress icon to come to the website section of the C panel:


This is your hosting dashboard where you manage everything like getting support, setting up emails, etc. Most importantly, this is where you’ll install WordPress.


Now you will see Bluehost Marketplace Quick Install screen for WordPresh. Click the Get Started button to continue.


On the next screen, enter the name of the domain you have purchased.



Now identifying the need to enter your website name, admin username, and password for your website. Needless to worry, you can change them later in the WordPress settings.


To go, one has to check all the checkboxes on the screen and then click on the 'install' button to continue.



Quick Install will now start installing WordPress on your website. Meanwhile, it will show you some website templates that you can install on your site.


Once the installation is over, you’ll see a success message in the top header.


Now you need to click on the ‘Installation Complete’ link, and it will take you to the screen with your WordPress login URL and password.


Congratulations! You have created your first WordPress website.


You can now head over to the WordPress login page. Your login URL will look like this:


http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin


You can login to your WordPress site using the admin username and password you entered earlier.

Four Step: Add Content to Your Site


By default, WordPress shows your blog posts on the front page of your website. You can change that, and make WordPress show any page as the front-page of your website (we’ll show you how to do that later in this guide).


You can create a separate page for your blog or news section. In fact, you can create a website without any blog section at all.


Having said that, let’s add some content to your website.


You’ll start by adding a few pages to your WordPress site. Don’t worry if you don’t have enough content for these pages at the moment. You can always edit and update them.



First, you need to provide a title for your page, let’s call this page ‘Home


You can repeat the process by adding more pages for different sections of your website. For example, an about page, contact us, and a blog page to display blog posts.


Now let’s add a few blog posts as well.


Head over to Posts » Add New in your WordPress admin area.



Fifth Step: Customizing and Tweaking Your Website



               Setting up a Static Front Page

   

You need to visit the Settings » Reading page in your WordPress admin area. Under the ‘Front page displays’ option click on the static front page and then select ‘Pages’ you created earlier for your home and blog pages.


Change Site Title and Tagline


You can change both your site’s title and tagline at any time by visiting Settings » General page.


Set up Comments Settings


Visit Settings » Discussions page and scroll down to ‘Before a comment appears’ section. Check the box next to ‘Comment must be manually approved’ option.



Create Navigation Menus


Navigation menus allow your users to browse different pages or sections on your website. WordPress comes with a powerful navigation menu system, and your WordPress theme utilizes this system to display menus.


First, you need to visit Appearance » Menus page. Enter a name for your navigation menu and click on the create menu button.


Next, you need to select the pages you want to display in your menu and then click on add to menu button.


You will notice your selected pages filling the empty area of your navigation menu. You can move them up and down to rearrange their position in the menu.


Six-Step: Installing Plugins
