How to create a wordpress website for beginners
Step 1: Select a Domain
When your visitors visit your WordPress site, it will appear as the URL in their address bar. Make certain that it is:
Short in length
Simple to remember and type
corresponds to your brand name or is closely tied to it
If you haven't already purchased a domain for your website, it's a good idea to do so when you buy your web hosting service (especially since some plans will include a free domain).
You'll also have a choice of top-level domain (TLD) if no one else has already claimed the name. A TLD is a suffix that you add to the end of a URL, such as.com,.edu,.biz, and so on. There are even ones for certain sectors as well as ones dependent on your geographic area (such as.uk and.eu).Google offers a pretty excellent summary of the many TLDs available.
Step 2: Get Web Hosting and a Domain.
Web hosting is exactly what it sounds like: it "hosts" webpages. In other words, web hosting businesses own and manage massive web servers housed in data centres situated throughout the country (and, sometimes, the world).
Websites like yours are hosted on these web servers, so you don't have to acquire or handle any server technology yourself. You pay these firms what amounts to monthly or annual rent for server space and bandwidth. Then you may concentrate on creating your website in WordPress.
When it comes to selecting a hosting package, you should consider what you intend to do with your website.
Step 3: Set up WordPress
WordPress can be installed in a variety of ways. Most web hosting services will offer a simple one-click installation approach that simplifies the entire process.
When you build a new site with WPMU DEV hosting, we automatically install and configure WordPress for you (and we give you numerous alternatives to create your site, too!)
Let's look at an example...
To begin, sign in to your WPMU DEV account and navigate to The Hub (our WordPress management dashboard and your web hosting headquarters)
