Step 1: Choosing Your Domain Name & Hosting

1. Select a Hosting Provider: We'll use HostGator as an example. Visit HostGator and click "Get Started."
2. Choose a Plan: Select the "Hatchling Plan" – a cost-effective option for beginners.
3. Register Your Domain: Enter your desired domain name (e.g., websitesmadeeasy) and choose a domain extension (like .com).
4. Account Details: Provide a username, security pin, and select a billing cycle (we recommend a year for savings).
5. Billing Information: Enter your billing details and use an email address you can access, as HostGator will send login information there.
6. Decline Add-ons: Uncheck any unnecessary add-on services.
7. Checkout: Click "Checkout Now" to finalize your purchase and become the owner of your website address!

Step 2: Installing WordPress

1. Access cPanel: After purchase, you'll receive emails with your login details. Find the cPanel link and click on it.
2. Quick Install: Scroll down to "Software & Services" and click "Quick Install."
3. Select WordPress: Choose WordPress from the list of applications.
4. Domain Selection: Select your domain name from the dropdown menu and click "Next."
5. WordPress Details: Enter your website details:
   • Blog Title
   • Username
   • First and Last Name
   • Email Address
6. Install: Click "Install" to begin the WordPress installation process.
7. Login: Once the installation is complete, you'll receive your website login details. Write them down and click the link to log in to your WordPress dashboard. If the login page doesn't appear immediately, wait a few minutes and try again.

Troubleshooting WordPress Login:

• Check Nameservers: If you're having trouble logging in, go back to your HostGator customer portal, click on "Domains," find your domain, and click "Change" under "Nameservers." Then, click "Automatically point my domain to my hosting account" and save.

Congratulations! You've successfully installed WordPress and have a website up and running.
