Well from choosing the best WordPress hosting to monetizing techs. If you are a pure beginner who needs to start from scratch, this post is crafted for you!<\/p>\n
In this start a fashion blog in WordPress post, we will cover,<\/p>\n
Well, let’s dive into the tutorial.<\/p>\n
In the next 45 minutes or\u00a030 minutes, you will be able to launch your first fashion blog. We have made the tutorial simple for\u00a0every beginner.<\/p>\n
At this time, there are so many WordPress hosting companies out there. Also, some folks have started local web hosting companies. We will not recommend them. Local web hosting can’t give you\u00a0proper support and uptime.<\/p>\n
Our recommended web hosting companies are, Bluehost<\/a>, Namecheap<\/a>, GoDaddy<\/a>, A2 Hosting<\/a>. They are the best web hosting companies which are beginner’s friendly.<\/p>\n Normally a shared web hosting plan will cost you $5 a month or\u00a0$7 a month. Thankfully Bluehost<\/a>, a WordPress community-recommended web hosting offers shared\u00a0hosting for $3.95 for AWPGuide users!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Well, you may be thinking it’s not a great deal. From below, you will know why you should join Bluehost<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you want more power, you need to choose managed WordPress hosting. WP Engine<\/a> and Kinsta<\/a> are our favorites. For beginners, the shared hosting plan is good enough.<\/p>\n Choose your domain name wisely. Once you registered a domain name, you can’t exchange or edit it. In that case, you still need to purchase another one from any registrar.<\/p>\n Also, consider keywords in the domain name. For example, our domain name is awpguide.com. It tells that our blog is A WP Guide a.k.a, A WordPress Guide. So, include any keywords in your domain name if possible.<\/p>\n Make the domain short. Nobody can remember a lengthy domain name and probably they will misspell it.<\/p>\n Choose the extension wisely. If you are targeting India, use the .in extension. For the US, use .us and for Pakistan, use the .pk domain names. For a common blog, use the .com domain. We highly recommend you choosing the .com domain for your website.<\/p>\n We have mentioned that Bluehost<\/a> will give you hosting for $3.95 a month. For our users, they will also give a free .com domain for a year. It will be a great chance for you for grabbing your free .com domain name.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you prefer another web hosting, you need to register your domain from any other registrars. For our uses, we use GoDaddy<\/a> and Namecheap<\/a> for domain registrations and SSL certificates.<\/p>\n A .com domain name will cost $12 for a year. Saying that Bluehost<\/a> got a great offer which you need to try.<\/p>\n For building your blog, you need to purchase a shared hosting plan from Bluehost. Here, we will show you how can you do it in the right way.<\/p>\n First of all, go to Bluehost<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Click on the get started now button.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For beginners, the Bluehost basic plan is enough.
