Three easy steps to setup a WordPress Website and Blog
Keep it simple and register your domain name with a company called Go Daddy or Namecheap and try HostGator as your hosting provider for your WordPress website or blog hosting needs.
Here are the steps you need to know:
1. Domain Name Registration: Choosing a domain name is known as a critical component of obtaining a high Google ranking. The way I choose a domain name is by researching keywords that my visitors might search or target in a search engine to find my website and blog. Use those words as the domain name. Revelvant keywords and content helps in Google rankings. Once you have your search term you will need to register a domain name and choose a top tier domain, for example a .com or .org. This completes step 1.
2. Setup your hosting company. For ease of use and easy 1 to 3 click setup, I recommend Host Gator (Hostgator.com). Plus, they are very reasonably prices and very reliable with virtually no down time. Now you proceed to setting up the domain name you just purchased for hosting with HostGator. Visit Hostgator’s website HERE and see how simple it is to setup your domain and get a WordPress Blog rolling in less than 3 minutes with just several clicks.

3. Finally once your website is up and running and hosted with Hostgator you’ll want to login to the C-Panel (link will be sent by email to the email you gave Hostgator when you registered for hosting), locate the blue smiley face named Fantastico, click on this link to launch a fresh screen. Here on the new screen about half way down on the left you will find a button for WordPress. Click this button and fill-in the questions as you are prompted. Your new WordPress website and blog will be live and running in minutes.
