First step in creating a WordPress Blog

The very first requirement to have a WordPress site is web hosting provider. Web hosting works two tasks:

1. It will store all of your website data and all of your coding, files and your database.
2. It connects your information to the search engines that you write or share through your blog site.

You will find millions of hosting providers such as Godaddy, Blue host, site ground, WP engine, immotion hosting etc. Most of them are very popular and experience in this field. However, to create a website blog with fast loading speed you need to consider a few things:

First, the type of hosting server you are required for your blog. Most of the websites hosting providers store your data in servers.
As a result , to minimize the cost of running servers they share server resources such as RAM, CPU power etc with lot of sites. It means that around 50 to 300 sites may be running from the same hosting servers. Hosting servers are like your computers running 24 x 7 days a week. Here are a few choices for hosting types:

a. Share Hosting

b. Virtual private server hosting (VPS)

c. Dedicated server hosting

d. Cloud Hosting

Among the poor hosting types, the selection is depending on the number of visitors at the time. If you are a new blogger and just starting your blog, then it is better to go with share hosting. Share hostings are less expensive and best for limited budget sites. I personally recommend to go with blue host or immotion hosting services. This site is hosting by immotion hosting and they have lots of plans which are reliable services with uptime 99.99%

Selecting a domain

If we suppose that web hosting is your home and we can say that domain is your name. If a person looking for you, then they have to visit your home. Selecting a domain is not easy. You may easily by a domain from most of the hosting providers but I personally prefer Godaddy or blue host for buying a domain.

There are two options to choose a domain:

1. First you can define a new name for your domain which must be unique and should not be already taken by other.
2. Secondly, you may go for buying a auction domain which is previously sold to other and now he is selling in the market. You may also looking for expired domains which means that someone is previously using them for a period of time and now they are not in use.

Whatever the option you want to choose, the key point is a new domain is like a stranger who needs some time to create his reputation so that any search engine like Google may rely on him. The next important point is that the domain you buy or an expired domain-it should be higher authority means trust by search engines. The domain name cost you around $ 10-$ 15. These are the two paid options which you have to spend money for a blog. Here, in this section of WordPress tutorial pdf, next we will discuss signup process of web hosting.
