Let's get started.
How To Start A WordPress Blog On Bluehost in 2018 - Step-by-Step Video Tutorial
To get started, you'll be on Bluehosts home page.
You want to click the green get started button.
You will see you can then choose from three different plans.
The basic plan, plus plan, and prime plan.
You will see the basic plan you can get hosting for as low as $3.95 a month and for the plus
and prime plan you can get hosting for as low as $5.95 a month.
The basic plan works fine for almost everyone especially when you are first starting out
and starting a blog on Bluehost.
You can always upgrade to a different plan anytime you would like too.
If you are going to have more than one blog from the get-go then, you want to choose the
plus plan as you can have unlimited sites with this plan.
Once you decide which plan you would like, just hit the green select button to move on
to the next step in starting your WordPress blog.
Once you click the green select button, you will be directed to a sign up now page where
you want to enter the domain name that you want for your blog where it says new domain.
You'll see the .com next to it with some arrows.
You can click on that area to pick your domain extension.
As I mentioned before I highly recommend you go with a .com, .net, or .org as these are
most common.
If you already have a domain name that you purchased from another provider, you would
just enter that domain name where it says I have a domain name.
Remember you get a free domain name discount though!
Once you do that, hit the next button to continue in starting your blog on Bluehost.
You will now be on a create your account page where you want to input your account information
like your name, address, email address, etc.
See below screenshot.
Once you fill out your account information, you want to move on to the package information
section right under.
You will see Account Plan first.
Click that, and you will see you can choose 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, and 60 months.
You will see the further out you purchase your hosting for the cheaper your monthly
cost will be.
Choose how many months you want to purchase your hosting for.
You will see the setup fee, and primary domain registration fee is free.
Next, you will see a few additional services to add to your hosting plan.
You can go ahead and unselect all of these as these are not necessary, and there are
free alternatives that work just as well.
The domain privacy protection option I would consider though.
This makes your personal information private like your address, phone number, and email
address.
That information will be replaced with Bluehost's information.
The primary domain registration protects you from telemarketers getting a hold of your
phone number or email and bother you trying to sell you stuff related to what you do.
I would consider that option.
You can always add this option or any of them at a later date if you decide you want one
of the selections.
At the bottom, you will see your savings that you are saving by using our exclusive Bluehost
link and then the total cost of the hosting for your blog.
Scroll down to the next part of the page which is where you will enter your payment information.
Once you get your payment information entered select the, I have read and agreed to Bluehost's
Terms of Service, etc.
Click the green submit button.
Bluehost will now email you your Bluehost login credentials along with some welcome
emails.
One of the welcome emails you will need to activate the domain name that you got.
If you already have your domain name or purchased it via another domain provider then don't
worry about this step.
Once you have completed your purchase, you will be asked to create your password for
Bluehost.
Click the create your password button and you will be directed to a page where you will
create your WordPress password for your blog.
Be sure to select the I have read and agreed to Bluehost's Terms and Conditions, etc.
Once you have successfully created your password a congratulations screen will pop up.
Click the blue login button to log in to Bluehost so you can choose a free WordPress theme for
your blog.
Bluehost gives you the option to pick a free WordPress theme.
They have lots
of great options to choose from.
Once you choose your WordPress theme you will be taken to a page that says your all set,
start building.
Click on the start building button to continue to the WordPress dashboard to
start your WordPress blog on Bluehost.
You will now be directed to the WordPress dashboard.
Answer the questions it asks or you can click the option saying you don't need any help.
You will now see some Bluehost tools on the WordPress dashboard
that are very helpful when you are starting your WordPress blog on Bluehost.
You can easily add new posts, pages, customize the navigation menu, and install Woocommerce
if you plan on selling products on your WordPress blog on Bluehost.
You will see a button that says launch your blog.
See screenshot above.
Click the button and you will be able to name your blog site title and your blog site description.
When you log in to your Bluehost Cpanel you will easily be able to navigate around.
You can login to WordPress right from the Bluehost Cpanel.
