guys step-by-step how to install WordPress on Hostgator now for you guys that are not technically savvy don’t worry I will discuss in detail everything that you guys need to know and how much money is the right amount that you guys need to spend so without further ado guys let’s get started all right guys as you guys can see we are on Hostgator this home website now for you guys that that has never set up a website now I’m going to show you guys
step-by-step exactly how to do this but if you guys have not picked your domain name in that car right above yep it just popped out make sure you guys check out that video how to pick a domain name that stands out I go through the process and showing you guys how to pick the perfect domain name for your brief for your business or for your blogging business how to find the right domain name so you guys would be able to rank that domain name
alright so starting out you guys you see we are on the home website for Hostgator now a lot of people like to choose this because it looks like it’s the cheapest one but sometimes the cheapest one is not always the best solution now I want you guys to save as much money as you can but I’m going to show you guys I’m gonna try to help you guys pick the perfect hosting servers for your business so right out the gate you guys actually see a lot of
services that hostgator offers so if you guys are brand new highly do not recommend that you guys do VPS or dedicated because you guys haven’t reached that level yet to where you getting thousands of thousands of people or you haven’t built up a business tune up to where it started generating so much traffic you need your own dedicated server or of these years so that’s what that’s for so well Hostgator office they offer WordPress hosting and
share hosting now share hosting seems to beat host Gators main go-to hosting that a lot of people choose but I don’t recommend and here’s why if you guys are starting a blogging business it’s important that you guys have site speed that’s real important so if you guys are on the interstate like in if you guys have ever been to the city of Atlanta or Los Angeles or Chicago or Indianapolis any one of these big cities if you go in the in around for
4 p.m. or 5 p.m. or even 3 p.m. you’re gonna get in the traffic jam right now think about the guys all hold our websites our own share on one server so that’s pulling speed and that’s pulling in return guys that slows your website down the more people are pulling from from one server their server starts to slow down so it’s old and they’re just I’m just speaking of one website imagine 20 30 or even 40 or 50 sites on one server it’s gonna go slow
it’s gonna low slow so what I recommend I recommend that you guys do not get to share hosting I recommend that you guys use wordpress hostgator this cloud hosting reason being because it’s twice as fast and they give you a whole lot more resources so you guys can see this is it’s almost the same mr. share plan so it has the same type of setup it’s just a little bit more like right here us se they – 2075 seen here $4.95 so it’s really not moving
the needle too much so for you guys there to start now this is your very first blogging website or e-commerce website or whatever you guys plan on doing I recommend that you guys start with the hatchling plan reason being because if you guys are starting if you guys are blogging for the first time and just your first beast is first legitimate online business I recommend that you guys choose this plan because you can upgrade at any time so this is
something to actually get your feet wet and something for you guys to focus on focus just only focus on building at one website so for the sake of this video we’re gonna go through that process on the hatchling plan so I’m gonna give you guys a little little details about the cloud hosting plan so as you guys can see on the cloud hosting plan you only you have multiple servers unlike the share plan the share plan only gives you one server one or
possibly two servers with the cloud hosting plan you have multiple service so one one server slows down it moves over to the next so you don’t lose speed you maintain your speed and your business with prior as well we share hosting well but the Kyle hosting you get way more resources using using this service rather than the share all right so you guys can actually check this out once you guys choose to get into it now you guys decide to purchase
hosting through my link yes I will get a commission you guys don’t have to pay more but that’s just a small Commission for me recommending you guys to Hostgator alright so from here as you guys can see it’s pretty much the same it’s almost near the same as share hosting on this on the the specs sort of speak but the only thing you will get on this is increased speed you’ll get an SSL certificate like for all for our domains and you get way more
research and way more resources so some of these are actually added in and some of them you have to pay for so let’s go through the process now on this from here guys you want to check on this now if you guys are looking to link in description of this video I actually have a coupon code so where you guys can change can’t receive saw a discount so be sure to put that in here so from here you put in your domain name that you guys are choosing to
pick so I will choose ok so you actually see a light up bring alright so like right here it won’t lie like in this one all right now let’s see if we can do it and this choose like a diabetes okay see like that a light of green and I haven’t purchased it so don’t worry about that I have a person oh okay yeah I did something put in okay there we go alright so there we go alright so after you choose day which on this guy’s I recommend that you guys
choose six months now right now we haven’t put in the coupon code so it’s going to just say no money out from six three or one month right so I recommend that you guys choose six months and the reason being for day so if you choose this your whole six month period you won’t have anything to pay and that gives you a time frame so if you guys are focused on SEO and getting your website ranked that’s usually where it takes usually takes anywhere
from six months six months or more to have your website ranking and kind of generating traffic so that’s usually the way it has been for me and using other everybody that I’ve opted all SEO there’s usually how it how it is if you focus on SEO I recommend six months that’s why we’re choosing this all right so from there you will put in the pin now when you put in this pin you have to verify it when you guys call Hostgator for support or anything
that you need pertaining to your domain name reason being because they can verify who is who they can verify your fish you so if you have the security pin and you can call you call in they’re gonna ask you that the automated system is gonna ask you to even contact support it’s gonna ask you that all right so from here pretty much it it is I mean the standard you guys understand this either please don’t have to explain putting your information
right but the only thing is you have option to choose whether you want to use your email pay from PayPal or just in that way so I won’t be going through the process of me signing me doing all of this because I’ve already purchased a hosting account I already purchased I’ve already purchased a domain name and all of that alright so from this point it’s gonna ask you for additional services which I don’t recommend I don’t recommend starting now now
for site backup you guys you don’t have to worry about that cuz WordPress has plugins that will help you backup your that will help you backup your website and which we’ll get later on into that so don’t worry about that so this right here you don’t have to worry about that because I have a video that’s coming up that I will show you guys how to create your own profession to email for your website and increase your email deliverability alright so
after you you guys have done that come down put in our one word blog hustler all right and so we’re gonna click on net so you guys can see it’s one lever validate and it drops it down to 87 bucks so we scroll back up you see six months now you get 20% on all right so we choose the cloud hatchling plan and range so now you eighty seven dollars or you guys can choose three months now right now usually I recommend six months but if it helps you guys
out even more to choose three months so they bring that price down a little bit to where you guys can afford it by all means please do so all right so you guys can see it’s fit to four bucks now all right so as soon as you’ve done that check on that and click checkout and you will get some you’ll get some emails pretty much standard emails just about your purchase from Hostgator and all of that and and you also your emails how to actually log in
to Hostgator account alright so you so bus upon signing in you guys will be making your own account alright so from that point I’m gonna go over to my dashboard with Hostgator so the way you do that you go over to go to customer login portal login and sign in which if you guys knew you know you know exactly what to do alright so you guys are all ready so you guys are already signed up so you’ll you’ll receive email you can guys can go through
that process so click on so next I put in I got all my information say just click login and which I’m exit out of that because the morrow so the next thing so after you guys have purchased your domain name after you guys have purchased it it’s important it will not be hooked up you have to hook it up yourself so if you guys have purchased everything through Hostgator you really don’t have to wait too much longer I’ve seen situations too where if
you purchase hosting through Hostgator but you purchase your your domain name to Namecheap or something like that it’s gonna take up to 24 hours 24 to 48 hours to propagate so it’s pretty much like a trance a transfer process so that’s user how long it takes so you guys can see I have I’ve have had Hostgator for quite a long time since i’m started since i started in online alright so i’ll let a lot of these colors and i don’t have any don’t have
any interest to getting back okay so the way you hook that up is you will go over to let’s go here let’s go to more you’ll see your domain name right here you go to more and you click right here name service and you see a name service right here now I have manually sit outside of Hostgator because I’m using a content delivery network which is a CDN but for you guys that are not using a CDN what you would choose this automatically point my domain
names for my hosting and click right here and you will select the plan that you got alright so click that that and that is that alright then you just sit save name service in this and that’s done so come back to dashboard now this is this is simple as well come back to dashboard and launch your cPanel now when you launch se pounder this is where you’re gonna see all your files for for your domain for your domains right all right and from here you
set up your email and all that good stuff so I’m gonna sorry I already got it open so you click on lunch it’s gonna open up a new window and it’s gone on mine it’s actually taking the a little bit so I actually do mine on my own having a link saved so it’s gonna from here it’s gonna transfer you over to the control panel and voila you see everything we transferred over to the control panel you don’t have to log in the way that I normally log it
will since you’re logged in on this it’s automatically gonna transfer you over to this alright so now so now guys once you have pointed your name server your your domain name to your name server you will see it right here okay so it’s really putting you to see it right here alright so from that point what you want to do is pick on the domain name which you guys will only have one I have two so I’m gonna pick this glucoses academy.com scroll down
