Get Started

Setup for Starter WordPress Websites:

This is the process of setting up hosting using affordable Hostgator web services specifically for WordPress sites.
Hostgator is recommended only for new hobby sites or first time small business sites.

The goal is to first register a domain name.
Once that is complete, you will need to open a starter hosting account.
When you’re ready to start up your website, just follow these steps.

REGISTER YOUR DOMAIN

CLICK HERE TO BEGIN
This open a new browser window and take you to Hostgator.

1. Once you get there, click DOMAINS from the main menu (third from right).

2. Enter your desired domain name (without the .com extension, that is selected in the grey box) and click the yellow search button. If available, proceed to step 3.

3. Using the drop down menu, select the term. Three years is best. Then select the yellow Add To Cart button.  Once you are done selecting domains names ( you only need one) Click the yellow My Cart button.
