What do you need to get started with a WordPress blog?

A concept for a domain name (This is the name of your blog, for example, wpbeginner.com)

An internet hosting account (this is where your website live on the internet)

Yes, you read it correctly. You can create a blog from the ground up in about 30 minutes, and we will lead you through the whole process step by step.

Step 1: Choose a Blog Name and a Platform

The most common error new bloggers make is selecting the incorrect blogging platform. Fortunately, you're here, so you won't make that mistake.

WordPress.org, often known as self-hosted WordPress, makes more sense for 95% of users.

Because WordPress is open source, it is completely free to use. You may add plugins, change the look of your site, and, most importantly, generate money from your blog without any limits (see the difference between WordPress.com vs WordPress.org).

WordPress is also the most popular website platform, with all successful blogs, including ours, using it. To put this in context, WordPress powers 43% of all websites on the internet!

You may be asking why WordPress is free. What's the snag?

There are no strings attached. It is free because you must put it up and host it yourself.

In other words, you will need a domain name as well as web hosting.

A domain name is what users put into their browser to go to your website. It's the internet address for your blog. Consider google.com or wpbeginner.com.

Web hosting is the location of your website's files. It is the online home of your website. Every blog requires web hosting.

A new domain name usually costs roughly $14.99 per year, and web hosting services are around $7.99 per month.

That's a lot of money for someone who is just getting started.

Fortunately, Bluehost, an official WordPress recommended hosting provider, has agreed to give our customers with a free domain name as well as up to 60% off web hosting.
