Registering a Domain and Hosting Provider
Your domain name is the address of your blog on the search engines, so it’s important to choose something memorable and relevant to your niche or business. Consider using keywords that describe your niche or industry to help with search engine optimization (SEO). things like google.com and upskillinghub.com
Once you have a domain name in mind, you’ll need to find a hosting provider. Hosting is where your website’s files and data will be stored on the internet, making it accessible to users on the internet. Choose a hosting provider that offers good uptime, fast loading speeds, and excellent customer support. Popular hosting options include Hostinger, Bluehost, and SiteGround.
Generally Domain name will cost from $3-7/year and Hosting will cost you $1-3/month. If you choose a premium version of a hosting you will get a free domain per year.
That’s a lot of money for beginners and students. Hosting Providers Hostinger, Bluehost, and Site Ground offer up to 60% discounts on hosting plans and provide Free Domains and SSL certificates.
I’m using Hostinger for my websites and blogs. It is one of the oldest and most trusted hosting providers and is easy to use for WordPress. I will suggest it, especially for beginners.
Click here to register, you will get an exciting Hostinger Plan.
You can also register from the blue host and site ground. Blue Host offers inbuilt WordPress installation in hosting but it’s a little bit high cost when compared to others sometimes it gives the best offers for new customers.
Connecting Domain and Hostinger
Nowadays all hosting platforms are offering simple one-click WordPress installation to make it simple for user-friendly. Compare the price and buy a hosting best suited for your blog
Domain and Hosting Plans Image
Are you buying a domain and hosting on different platforms..?
don’t you know how to connect..?
upskilling hub will give step-by-step instructions to connect domain and hosting
Method 01: Hey guys, if you are buying your domain and hosting in the same platform, it will automatically connect in its backend.
Method 02: If you are buying a domain and hosting on different platforms.
For example, Consider a person who bought a Domain and Hosting on different platforms like Godaddy and Hostinger. Then, he needs to connect both to make the blog live. Don’t worry; it’s a simple process. I will explain this to you in detail here.
Open your domain account, then click on domain settings. Here, you can see a DNS page with an option called nameservers.
Name servers are small code snippets that you will receive from the hosting provider. Paste these codes in the nameservers. Sometimes, it will connect within seconds, or it may take up to 24 to 48 hours. Congratulations, you are connected successfully.
WordPress-Installation and Set Up
WordPress is a free open-source software application (Content Management System) which means 100% free. You can install plugins, and customize your blog appearance. The best part is you can earn money from your blog without any restrictions from the application.
WordPress is the largest successful CMS platform accessing all over the world including our blog. As per upskillinghub research, almost 55% of websites on the internet are built with WordPress and CMS Platforms.
Once your Domain and Hosting are connected login to the C-Pannel or H-Pannel provided by Hostinger and install the WordPress manager.
Select your domain or URL for installation select HTTP or HTTPS
HTTPS is enabled only for SSL certificate holders which is provided by Hostinger
In simple words, SSL is a security lock to your website or blog
Consider your website is a house then SSL is a lock for your home. It gives security from hackers.
