All new bloggers and webdesigners are searching for how to design or make or build a website in 5 to 10 minute with hostgator hosting (Self hosted Blog) so don't worry now beacuse we provide all solution in this article....
What is web-hosting ?
According to wikipedia Web hosting is a
service that provides Web users with online systems for storing
information, images, video, or any content accessible via the web. Web
hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by
their clients.
How much it will cost ?
Normally a web hosting package cost
something between 4-15$/month. It depends on type of web-hosting
packages. In the web there are thousands of web-hosting companies
available. But choosing any web hosting first check below 5 things –
- How much storage do they offer? [Include storage space, bandwidth etc.]
- No of domain/Sub domain/Email you can host?
- Which type of protection they offer for security?
- Do they provide email/ phone/chat support?
- Are there any additional charges after purchasing web hosting package?
All of these question right answer you
will get from hostgator. Hostgator web-hosting is best and it will match
all your needs. I also use hostgator web-hosting past two years without
any hassle. In two years I never see long downtime so for and the best
thing is their support service whether you are in phone or email or chat
every time you will get quick respond.
In hostgator you will see three type web hosting plan – 1) hatchling plan 2) Baby plan 3) and business plan.
Hatchling Plan – Low
price rate; it will cost only 3.96$ per month. But main disadvantage is
in this plan you can only host a single domain name otherwise everything
is fine.
Baby Plan- Most useful and my recommended plan. In this plan you can host unlimited number of domains. This plan will cost 6.36$/month.
Business Plan – Don’t
buy this package at the start of blogging. This plan is bit costly, it
will cost you around 11$/month. This package also has some new feature
Private SSL, IP address and toll-free number.
Simple ways to start a website (Blog) :-
- First of all you need to a domain name like yourname.com or anyoneyouwant.net etc...
- then go to Godaddy.com or bigrock.com or hostgator.com i prefer Godaddy.com beacuse it's No. 1 in Domain provider.
- after bought domain name then go for Hosting offers ... and buy now from Hostgator.com
- Go to www.hostgator.com and click on the big, yellow button that is in the middle of the screen.
- Once you do so the site will show you three plans: Hatchling plan, Baby plan and Business plan.
- For those who are just starting a website I would recommend the Hatchling plan as it is perfect for one website. With the Baby plan you can have as many websites as you want while the Business plan is only needed if you want to make a website that can accept credit card payments without a third party interference like Google Checkout.
- The next step to take is to register
your domain name. If you already have a domain name type it in the box
on the right. However if you are choosing to buy domain and hosting
together from Hostgator write in the left side box.
Then click on the yellow button that says - Use Coupon Code “MANUHOST25OFF″ to get 25% OFF with hostgator.
On the last page enter your billing
information and don’t forget to make sure that the email address you use
is valid since you will receive your entire log in information on it
when you are done. When you have filled and checked the entire
information click the yellow button at the bottom of the page that says
(CREATE ACCOUNT) and in a few moments your account will be ready.
However there is one very important
thing that you have to remember. If your hosting is from Hostgator and
your domain name is from Go Daddy you will have to change your
nameservers .It’s not that hard to do but it is necessary. All you have
to do is to get the nameservers that Hostgator provides you in an email
when you open an account and replace the ones that you have at Go Daddy
with them. You can do this by going into the domain management at Go
Daddy and editing the nameservers to the one from the email. It will
take 24 to 48 hours for the change to take place. During that time you
can get access through the IP address in case you want to transfer files
over.
Now WordPress Setup Process
The last thing you have to do is to
install WordPress.As you have an account on Hostgator you can install it
much more easily through QuickInstall rather than the long manual
installation process:
- Log in through your plans Control Panel
- Go down to the software services section and click on the icon that says QuickInstall.
- Go to the Blog Software and then click on WordPress.
- After that click on the Continue button.Fill out the application URL, if it is needed and then fill in all the rest of the options and categories (the blog title etc)Click Install Now!After WordPress is finished installing, you should see a “Congratulations!” message like the one below with a link to click here highlighted in yellow. Click that link, and it will bring you to your newly installed WordPress site!
