- Click this link to open Bluehost.com in a new window (so you can follow along in this one)
- On the main screen click the “Sign Up Now” button to get started.
- If you don’t already have a domain name bluehost offers a free domain with hosting. You can just put it in the “I need a domain name” box. If you have already purchased a domain name enter it in the “I have a domain name” box and click the appropriate next button.
- Fill out the account information.
- For most sites I do not recommend the pro package
- Choose the number of months you want (affects price)
- I suggest clicking the two “more information” links and seeing if these are things you think you want – You’d be OK without either but the “Site Backup Pro” isn’t a terrible idea. I don’t believe the SiteLock Domain Security is worth it for most people.
- Fill out the billing information and click next – you will receive an email that confirms your payment.
- Next you need to create your password. Click the “Create your password” link and select a password that meets the requirements written in red on the right. Then click “Change Password”.
- Now you can log in to your dashboard by putting your domain name in and your password and clicking login.
- You will be greeted with a “Welcome New User” screen.
- If you are ready, follow this guide to install wordpress.
