to build a website with Bluehost step by step in under 10 minutes.
Whether you're a newbie at technology or are a pro.
This step by step how to build a website with Bluehost tutorial video is perfect to follow
along with.
By following this tutorial video you will have your website built in as little as 10
minutes.
At the end of this video, you will have your website succesfully started on Bluehost.
The first step I'm going to cover is how to choose and register your own domain name for
free with Bluehost along with providing you with a discount on their hosting.
Step 2 is choosing the right hosting plan.
Step 3 is getting your website setup.
If you don't have time to start your website right this second be sure to bookmark this
video so you can come back to it later.
I provided a link to Bluehost below in the description to get your free domain name and
hosting discount.
I do want to mention that the link is an affiliate link and I'll receive a commission which helps
support this channel and helps put out more WordPress tutorial videos.
Some things to know about Bluehost is they host over 2 million websites worldwide and
over 850,000 blogs around the world.
They are also recommended by WordPress themselves since 2005.
They instantly install WordPress for you which makes starting a site that much easier.
They provide 24/7 support via chat, email, and phone.
And they have a 30 day money back guarantee.
If for any reason you are unhappy you can cancel and get a refund no questions asked
within the first 30 days.
The first thing you want to do is head on over to Bluehost via the link in the description
if you already haven't.
You'll see the get started now button on the page.
Click the button.
This is where you can select your hosting plan.
You'll see three different options.
You'll see a Basic plan, Plus plan, and a Prime plan.
I recommend going with the basic plan and then you can always scale up whenever you'd
like.
If you have more than one website then you'd want to choose either the plus plan or prime
plan.
I'm going to choose the basic plan for this tutorial as this is most common.
Go ahead and hit the select button on whichever plan you would like to use.
We are now brought to a domain page where we can choose the domain name that we want
completely free.
Or if you already have a domain name you'd enter it in over on the right.
For the new domain you can select if you want it to be a .com, .net, .org, etc…
.com is the most popular domain extension so I'd recommend going with a .com if you
can.
I'm going to type in a domain here and click the next button.
You are now brought to a create your account page.
This is where you will input your information.
We have first name, last name.
Business name is optional.
Put your country address information.
Put a phone number and lastly the best email for you as you'll get emailed a receipt
of payment and a copy of your login credentials, etc.
Below that you will see package information.
You'll see account plan.
This is where you can select the term for your hosting package.
You have 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months, and 60 months.
As you can see you'll save money the longer you purchase your hosting for.
I'm going to select the 12 months package.
Setup fee is free.
Domain is free.
You'll see site back up pro.
You can unselect this as there are free backup plugins you can use for your WordPress website.
Search Engine jumpstart you can keep unselected.
This isn't necessary to have.
Sitelock security find is security for your WordPress website and protects it from hackers.
I'd unselect this as there are really good free alternatives.
Domain Privacy is an addon that I highly recommend.
It will prevent telemarketers and marketers getting a hold of your personal contact information
and bugging you with their services.
The domain privacy will show Bluehost's information for the site and not yours.
All of these addons are completely optional and up to you to get.
As you can see your saving a lot for this hosting package.
Below that you will input your payment infromation.
I'm not going to fill this out for protection of personal information.
Once your information is filled in you want to select the I have read and agreed to Bluehost's
privacy policy and terms of service.
Now click the submit button.
You are now brought to a page where you will choose a password for your Bluehost account.
Click the creare your password button.
Input the password you would like.
Click the I have read and agreed to Bluehost's Privacy Policy and Terms and Condition and
click the next button.
You will be directed to a congratulations page.
Click the blue login button to login to Bluehost.
Bluehost is also going to at this time email your dashboard login information to the email
address you provided.
You will now see pick your Theme.
Bluehost has a bunch of awesome free WordPress themes to choose from.
You can select a Theme now if you want too or below the Themes you can click skip this
step.
If you choose a Theme now you can always change the theme you pick without any problem at
a later date.
I'll be going over this in more detail, later in the video.
Once you choose your free Theme you'll be at the page here stating all done.
Click the button that says start building to start building your blog on WordPress.
Once you click that and log in you will be at the WordPress dashboard.
This is what the WordPress dashboard looks like.
It'll ask you a few questions as you can see.
If you don't need help just click the you don't need help option.
Once you do that you will see this page.
You will see blog posts where you can add new blog posts.
You will see where you can add new pages to your blog.

You'll see here you can login to WordPress from it.
Over on the left hand side you can click the my sites which will pull up your current WordPress
