Once you’ve selected the WordPress option, choose the plan that’s right for you.

I recommend for your first blog to choose the START UP plan which is the least expensive and is great for a first blog

buy_Domain

It’s time to choose your domain.

Write the name of your blog / site (make sure it is available) and choose the final part of your domain (I recommend .com )

Buy_hosting

Continue by completing your registration by entering your details, your payment method and purchase information

I advise you to leave the 12 month period as in the image

Buy_hosting

How To Set Up The WordPress Domain

Where To Buy Domain And Hosting

Domain and hosting are an extremely important part of your blog or business

On the web there are so many options to choose domain and hosting and each has its strengths and weaknesses

before choosing which hosting to run your site on, it is good to know everything the market offers in order to make the right choice

we all have different needs and knowing what the network offers allows you to find the service tailored to you

Here is the list of the 3 main ones:

Siteground

Siteground was born in 2004 in Sofia in Bulgaria

It has about 500 employees in its offices around the world (America, Spain, London ..)

and manages more than 2,000,000 customers (including Freenancer.com :))

Siteground offers a domain registration and purchase service

Aruba

What Is The Best Hosting For WordPress

The best Hosting is undoubtedly SITEGROUND and now we will see together why:

BENEFITS:

DISADVANTAGES:

  • The domain name is not offered
  • Site / Support in English

How Much Does The Domain Cost On WordPress

How much does a domain cost in WordPress?

very frequent question and the answer is… it depends!

Costs vary from hosting to hosting and what you want to do with your site 

not all sites have the same needs so not all sites need the same tools

Siteground offers you the free domain for the first year other platforms make you pay at the time of subscription while others still give it to you to build loyalty

If you want, you can buy the domain without having to go through hosting

in this case the cost of the domain will change according to other parameters (for example the extension of the site: .it or .com) and also due to the provider that issues the service 

the general cost of a domain is about 10/15 euros per year but in particular cases this price can reach up to 50 euros

CONCLUSION

We have reached the end of these tutorials I hope all the steps were clear and easily understood

With this tutorial you have everything you need to start your web adventure

I truly believe that more and more people will enter this wonderful world that offers an infinite number of opportunities
