and websitein 30 minutes
even If YouHave
ǾTech Skills!
Let’s start building your website right now! >>>
All you have to do is:
1 Buy a domain name
2 Get hosting
3 Set up WordPress
4 Write your first blog post
and click “Publish”
It’s that simple!
In just 4 easy steps,
you can be officially a proud website owner and blogger.
Buy a Domain Name1
step
A domain name is the web address that people
type in to find your site.
Our domain name is —it’s thetckpublishing.com
actual address of your website that appears in the
address bar at the top of your web browser (also
called a URL bar or location bar).
step1Buy a Domain Name
Go to to buy a domain name.www.godaddy.com
Don’t stress out about finding the perfect domain
name right now!
Just choose one that works and get started with
confidence knowing you can always call up
GoDaddy’s 24/7 customer support and they will help
you make any changes you need.
step1Buy a Domain Name
step1Buy a Domain Name
Select Your Domain Name
If the domain name is available, it will say “Yes!
Your domain is available. Buy it before someone
else does.” If not, keep trying different options for
your domain name.
step1Buy a Domain Name
Continue to Check Out.
Skip the Upsells and Additional Offers.
Finish Checkout.
The last page is the checkout page where you can
review your selection.
step1Buy a Domain Name
Once you have purchased your domain name, it’s time to get a
web hosting service so you can actually host your website at your
brand new web address.
Buying web hosting is a lot like buying storage
space; the company keeps all your stuff organized
and safe in one place.
Bluehost is the first company I used for hosting
my websites.
Set-up Web Hosting2
step
step2Set-up Web Hosting
Let’s start by going to .www.bluehost.com
step2Set-up Web Hosting
Start with basic if you are only building one
website. You can always upgrade later.
Since you already setup a domain with ,Godaddy
you need to choose the box that says “I have a
domain name” and enter your domain name.
Click Next.
step2Set-up Web Hosting
step2Set-up Web Hosting
Clicking on next button will give you the “create
your account” screen.
step2Set-up Web Hosting
You are now halfway done
setting up your custom self-hosted
WordPress website and blog.
The third step is to install
WordPress with your web host.
Congratulations!
Since you are adding a brand new domain, you’ll
need to add the domain in the Control Panel of
your account first.Bluehost
On the hosting login screen, enter the domain
name or your username and your password.
Click on submit.
Set-up WordPress3
step
step3Set-up WordPress
step3Set-up WordPress
Once logged in, click on the Domains > Domains List
tab and under Shortcuts click the link that says,
“Assign a domain to your cPanel Account.”
step3Set-up WordPress
On the Assign a Domain
screen, click on the option,
“Use a domain that is not
already associated with your
account” and enter your
domain name.
step3Set-up WordPress
Go back to and log in to yourwww.godaddy.com
account.
Once logged in, just go up to the Products >
Domains tab and click on the Launch button on the
same row as the domain that you are trying to setup
with Bluehost.
step3Set-up WordPress
step3Set-up WordPress
step3Set-up WordPress
The next step is to
“Verify Ownership” of the
domain by pointing the
nameservers for the
domain to your new web
host’s nameservers.
step3Set-up WordPress
Go back to the Bluehost
“Assign Domain” screen
and copy the two
nameservers listed under
“Step 2: Verify Ownership”
step3Set-up WordPress
Now that you have the nameservers information, go
back to the Godaddy “Set Nameservers” window and
choose the option “I have a specific nameservers for
my domains.”
Once you click on OK, this will verify the ownership for
your domain. It may take about 5 minutes in most
cases.
step3Set-up WordPress
I recommend clicking on “Addon Domain” because it
lets you make it look like an entirely new website.
step3Set-up WordPress
For the next step, choose the folder in your account
that the domain will point to.
You basically need to tell Bluehost whether you wish
to host your new website in an existing directory
(meaning a folder on the server) or in a new directory.
If you don’t know what any of this tech stuff means,
just click “Create a new directory.”
Click on Assign this domain button to finish the
process.
step3Set-up WordPress
step3Set-up WordPress
You now have your domain server pointing to Bluehost. That
means Bluehost is now hosting your domain in their servers, so
technically your website is already live!
Now it’s time to setup WordPress so you can build a
website customized to your needs for free using
WordPress themes and plugins.
From the Control Panel of Bluehost, click on the
Hosting > cPanel tab.
You’ll see under Site Builders, “WordPress” — just
click on it.
step3Set-up WordPress
step3Set-up WordPress
The next screen you’ll see is
“Install WordPress.”
This is for a new installation
and so we’ll need to click
the Install button.
step3Set-up WordPress
We now have to complete the installation of
WordPress.
The first step is to select your Installation
Preferences.
If you want your homepage to be something different—if
you want your homepage to be a sales page for your book,
or something like a squeeze page—then you can choose to
install it only on yourname.com/blog. Most people just want
the entire website to be the blog, and there are also many
free and paid tools you can use to change the home page
later on.
step3Set-up WordPress
You can leave the “/” blank and you can just install
WordPress directly on your domain (this is the option
I recommend for 95% of folks, especially if this is your
first website).
step3Set-up WordPress
You can either select or deselect these options. If you choose to
install the plugins, you can always uninstall them later.
Personally, I don’t recommend any of the current
themes or plugins being offered at this stage by
BlueHost.
step3Set-up WordPress
The last thing you need to do is to accept the terms
and conditions by checking the box that says, “I have
read the terms and conditions of the GPLv2 license
agreement.” Then Click on Complete.
You’re now done installing WordPress. Great work!
step3Set-up WordPress
The last thing you need to do is to accept the terms
and conditions by checking the box that says, “I have
read the terms and conditions of the GPLv2 license
agreement.” Then Click on Complete.
You’re now done installing WordPress. Great work!
step3Set-up WordPress
After you install WordPress, you’re going to get an email
from SimpleScripts with the subject “WordPress Access
Information”.
This e-mail will contain your domain WordPress log in
page. It’s going to be something like
www.yourname.com/wp-admin. The email will also
include your login name and your login password which
you can change to your preference at any time.
Now that you have WordPress setup,
it’s time to write and post for your first blog article.
Write Your First Blog4
step
Go to your WordPress login page (this will
almost always be at www.yourdomain.com/wp-
admin), enter your Username and Password and
click on Log In.
step4Write Your First Blog
Go to your WordPress login page (this will almost
always be at www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin), enter
your Username and Password and click on Log In.
step4Write Your First Blog
The Dashboard (wp-admin) is the first screen you see
when you login to the administration area of your
blog.
This is where you can get at-a-glance an overview of
what’s happening with your blog.
You won’t see much yet since your website is brand
new, and that’s okay.
step4Write Your First Blog
step4Write Your First Blog
To add your first post, scroll to Posts and choose “Add New.”
step4Write Your First Blog
Once you have written your first blog post,
just click on Publish and you’re finished.
