Before you even start thinking about your WordPress theme or any of your posts, you’ll need to purchase your hosting plan and pick a domain name. Lucky for you, every WordPress hosting plan from SiteGround Country Email List includes a FREE domain name. Not only does this save you some cash, but it makes setting up your website even faster since you won’t have to point your domain name over from another server. So pick one of the plans we talked about above, and let’s get started!
The SiteGround Setup Wizard
My advice is take advantage of the SiteGround setup wizard – it’s going to make setting up your WordPress website super easy and headache free. First you’ll need to login to your SiteGround User Area, there should be a prompt similar to the one below. Just select the option that applies to your situation; in this tutorial we’ll walk you through how to setup a brand new website.
NOTE: There is a manual installation option if you’d rather go that route, but since it is more complicated we won’t be covering here.
Next you’ll choose the type of website you’re creating as well as the software you’d like to use. Of course you’re choosing WordPress for that second one, since it is the best CMS after all.
