This website is the #1 recommended web hosting by WordPress.org. It also happens to be my top recommendation. Every account features 1-click WordPress installation. It is one of the most well known, most popular, and affordable web hosting options,especially great for beginners due to their user friendly features and one-click WordPress installation.

Click the “get started now” button and let’s get started! (see above). Select a hosting plan that fits your needs. (Normally, if you are just starting out I recommend the basic plan but, if you are really serious about this and want more resources & power go with their Prime or Pro plan). Keep in mind, you can always upgrade your plan as you grow.

Step 2: Pick Your Domain Name

Search for a domain with the domain name search tool below. Don’t spend a ton of time on this step, you can always change the domain name later. If you already have a domain name, type it in the “I have a domain name” box and thus that website is generous enough to throw in a FREE domain name with every new hosting account created.

The next step is to fill out your account and billing information.

Review the package information below and decide what term/add-ons are desired. The biggest bang for your buck is on the 60 month term, but you can choose 36 months, 24 months or 12 months. Please note that this will charge you upfront for the entire term.

Insert payment information and accept the terms.

Congrats, your hosting account has been created! Bluehost will send you a welcome email.

Create your password. Make sure to review the requirements for creating the password. If you need help you can always click the “Suggest Password” option. Regardless, I recommend notating it just to be safe. You’ll end up needing it later on.

Go ahead and login and start getting familiar with your new Bluehost account.

Step 3: Install Your WordPress Website

After your hosting account has been created WordPress will automatically install. Start off by picking a theme, these are all free themes from WordPress.org. You can always update or customize your theme later.

Now that you’ve picked your theme, let’s jump into WordPress and get you even closer to constructing that first blog post.

Decide whether this site will be for business or personal use.

On this step, you’ll see an overview of Bluehost+WordPress integration. You can manage WordPress plugins and blog posts or pages here.

Here’s a revamped dashboard of control panel.

Now you can make your site look how you want! Since you are using WordPress the sky’s the limit!

Start Publishing!

You now have a fully functional WordPress website with a great hosting company! That wasn’t so hard, was it!?

From this point on, your main task is to publish as much content as possible. This site has tons of tutorials and articles on how to grow your affilaite marketing business.

Best of luck to you as you grow your business!
