How to setup Web Hosting account for your New Blog?

How to setup web hosting?

In this step, I am explaining the procedure on How to set up a new Web hosting account for a new Blog. First, choose the best top class and branded Web hosting. Personally, I am suggesting Bluehost for my readers. I am one of the users of Bluehost web hosting. Follow this setup web hosting guide.

How to setup Web hosting account?

Start the Bluehost registration with this link “Get started Now”

First, go to the Bluehost link and then select one plan from the table (Starter, Plus, and Business Pro). Here I am suggesting a minimum 2 years plan (or) more to save money.

Step by step guide to buying Bluehost Web hosting:

  1. Choose a free domain or use your existed domain name:
  2. Account details
  3. Package information
  4. Complete hosting purchase
  5. Selecting the password
  6. Logging into web hosting’s cPanel

1. Choose a free domain or Use your existed domain name

On the next page, you can decide to get a free domain name from Bluehost, or you can set up with your existed domain (If you have an old domain already). The Bluehost domain registration service is also excellent. But it is providing the free areas along with hosting pages only but not individually.

Buy domain name now

If you are using the existed domain, you should update Bluehost Nameservers.

  • ns1.bluehost.com
  • ns2.bluehost.com

No problem you can do this Name server updating process later. Or enter the new domain name you wish to buy in the “New domain” field; the new domain name will be active with your Bluehost web hosting. (Remember: The free domain is valid up to 1 year only, after that you must renew the domain).

2. Fill the Account Details carefully

In this page, you need to enter your details (Name, Email address, Address of the registrant).

After that check the filled details once before submission. The login details will be sent to the given email address.

3. Select and Fill the Package information

Now choose the package which you want to host to land your blog/blogs. Here deselect the “Site backup pro” and “Site lock Domain Security” if you not need it.
