Domain Name and Hosting
Now it’s time for the technical configuration.
Your domain name serves as your website’s address, while hosting is the service that preserves your files and renders your WordPress site accessible online.
I personally utilize BigScoots and find them extremely dependable. Their support team is exceptional and swift in assisting if you encounter any questions.
You might discover more affordable hosting providers, but slower hosting could lead to issues with loading speed and search engine optimization (SEO) in the future.
Numerous bloggers initiate with a budget-friendly host and upgrade later as their audience expands.
Your domain name functions as your website address. Hosting is the service that maintains your website files and renders your blog accessible on the web.
How to Register
Go to the Bigscoots website and choose a hosting plan.
Throughout the setup procedure, you will:
- Select your hosting package
- Create your account
- Finalize payment
You also have the option to activate domain privacy, which conceals your personal contact information from public records.
If you’ve already acquired a domain from another provider, you can link it in this phase.
Once everything is arranged, BigScoots will install WordPress for you so you can begin constructing your self-hosted WordPress blog.
