All eight steps

Step 3 of 8 · 20 minutes

Choose WordPress hosting

Hosting keeps your site online. The course works with any suitable WordPress host.

Follow these actions

01

Check WordPress support

Confirm the plan offers WordPress installation and a way to manage your website from the hosting dashboard.

02

Check the essentials

Look for an SSL certificate, backup options, customer support, and enough storage for your starting pages and images.

03

Read the renewal terms

Compare the full checkout price and the future renewal price. Decide whether a monthly or longer plan makes sense for your budget.

04

Choose where to keep the domain

You may buy the domain with the host or use a separate registrar. If separate, the host will give you DNS instructions after signup.

05

Keep your records

Save your hosting confirmation, login email, billing renewal date, and support link in a safe place.

Compare before paying

Our tools page explains the costs and discloses the Hostinger affiliate link. You may use another WordPress host.

Keep in mind

Hostinger is an affiliate option, not a requirement. Using another host does not change the free lessons.
