Selecting a Hosting Provider

Okay, so first things first, it’s super important to have your own special place for your blog, ya know? Like, your own little corner where you can keep all your stuff like pics and articles and show them off to the world. It’s called hosting. It also makes sure your blog is safe and works well with WordPress or whatever.

So, there are loads of hosting platforms, but I’m gonna point you to Hostinger ’cause it’s one of the best 5 hosting Powerful. Plus, it’s got an easy interface and really good support, and it even supports AI.

Why should you go with Hostinger, you ask?

Well, maybe you’re looking for a good host at first, but not one that’s gonna empty your pockets, right? That’s what I thought too.

So, with Hostinger, it’s the king in this case. Prices start at $2.99 a month if you choose 4 years. Or $11.99 for just one month. Plus, you can get your money back within 30 days if you’re not into it.

And I also suggest a 20% discount on plans starting from a year or more. Let’s take the suggested plan for example, at $3.19 a month without the discount. Usually, it would be $191 for 4 years. But with the automatic discount from Techmim, it’ll be $153 for four years. Or less for other plans or months.

Now let’s move on to the subscription steps.

1. Visit Hostinger
2. Pick Your Perfect Plan
3. Choose A Period Specific
4. Create Your Account On Hostinger
5. Review And Click On Secure Payment

Step 1: Visit Hostinger by clicking here to get a 20% discount.

Step 2: Read about the features of each plan, then choose what suits your needs. All plans have discounts ranging from a year to four years, but not for just one month. Think of it as a long-term investment.

Step 3: Choose your commitment period, a month, a year, two years, or four years. Note that the longer the duration, the lower the price, plus a free domain for a year, which you can renew for $15.99 annually.

Step 4: Create your account on Hostinger, you can choose between regular registration or through a third party like Google or Facebook. Choose your favorite and most used one.

Step 5: Finally, review the invoice and discounts, including the 20% discount provided by Techmim. Then choose the most suitable and preferred payment method. Fill in all the data and then click on secure payment.

Congratulations, now you have ready hosting. You will receive an email for confirmation after you write the password.

But now. You will go directly to the main page on Hostinger. In order to set up a domain name to start a blog on WordPress.

So click on claim domain.

Now, type a domain name that suits your blog, it must be available, and don’t forget to switch “in” to “com” or “net” or a country code if available. But most people choose “.com”. Click on “in” and other options will appear. If you’re not sure about your choice, read this article by clicking here.

Now is the time to enter your basic information and your contact information. Fill in each box as requested. And click on finish.

Finally. Click on complete. And congratulations to you.

And don’t forget, the first domain is free for a year if you choose a year or more. and you can register 100 to 300 sites on hosting. That depends on your plan type, so you’ll need a different domain for each site, and this time you’ll pay.

So, that’s what we’ll talk about later. Leave your thoughts, and any problems in the comments, or contact me for free help.

Register Domain Name

So like, say you got some free space from Hostinger. But now you’re thinking about buying a new space for your blog or maybe you wanna start an online store. What should you do?

It’s pretty simple, so just think about a name that reflects the main topic that you wanna start with. Like, an online store for printing shirts on demand. What would you name it? I guess you might think of “customtshirtprintingmaster.net“.

But nah, don’t fall into that trap. so instead make your domain, short and easy for the audience to remember. and it reflects the theme of your blog or online store. Like, think of “tshirtmaster.net“.

Now you might be thinking about what the domain name is and what its benefit is. Or a flood of questions, so if you’re interested in delving deeper into the technical stuff. You should click here, you’ll be directed to another article that includes technical details.

now to move on to the steps for registering your domain.

1. Go To Namecheap
2. Register Name Domain
3. Select Years & Confirm
4. Create Account On Namecheap.
5. Dictation Of Information & Payment

Step 1: Go to a domain provider like Namecheap or GoDaddy. In the pictures, I’ll show, Namecheap as it’s popular and I’ve used it in my projects too. Because of its cool features and ease of use. Plus, many options.

Step 2: Write a distinctive domain name, it should be available for purchase. And don’t forget to apply the things I mentioned earlier for a distinctive name, you’ll likely get a domain name mostly priced at 9 to 13 dollars. And that’s considered cheap for your site to appear on the internet.

Step 3: For this stage, you’ll only choose the number of years you want to commit to and protect your domain name. Then confirm your order.

Step 4: Create your account with Namecheap. Also, make sure to choose a strong password consisting of numbers, symbols, and lowercase and uppercase letters. and most importantly remember it in a safe place, for reference when needed.

Finally, review the prices, then fill in the payment information in every empty box asked of you. And click on Pay Now. The amount will be deducted from your card directly. So make sure to review the prices and the total before payment.

Alright, now you’ve covered some key steps to start a blog on WordPress and this will make you feel some of the adrenaline running through your veins. Keep your excitement because the next steps ahead will start discovering some of the initial results. Be prepared.
