Step 1: Choosing Your Domain Name & Hosting

1. Select a Hosting Provider: We'll use HostGator. Go to HostGator and click "Get Started."
2. Choose a Plan: Select the Hatchling Plan – a cost-effective option for beginners.
3. Register Your Domain: Choose your desired domain name and enter it. Select your preferred billing cycle (we recommend a year for savings).
4. Billing Information: Enter your billing details, ensuring you use an accessible email address for login information.
5. Uncheck Add-ons: Decline any unnecessary add-on services.
6. Checkout: Click "Checkout Now" to finalize your purchase and become the owner of your website address!

Post-Purchase: You'll receive emails from HostGator with your login details and helpful links.

1. Access cPanel: Find and click the "C Panel" link in the email.
2. Quick Install WordPress: Navigate to "Software & Services" and click "Quick Install."
3. Select WordPress: Choose WordPress from the dropdown menu and click "Next."
4. Enter Website Details: Provide your name, blog title, username, first and last name, and email address. Click "Install."
5. Retrieve Login Details: WordPress is now installing! Note your website login details displayed on the screen and click the link to access your WordPress dashboard. If you encounter a "not available" page, wait a few minutes and try again.

Troubleshooting Login: If you still have trouble logging in, try the following:

• Log in to your HostGator customer portal.
• Go to "Domains" and find your domain.
• Click "Change" under "Nameservers."
• Select "Automatically point my domain to my hosting account" and save.
