THIS ALLOWS YOU TO HOST ONE WEBSITE AND IT IS THE CHEAPEST OPTION
If you don’t already have a domain, you can register your chosen domain at the same time as you sign up for web hosting.
Sign Up For Web Hosting
The hosting company that I recommend you sign up to is called SiteGround.
If you visit www.sitehost.online you’ll get through to their WordPress page, which is where you need to start.

What’s so special about SiteGround?
- You get your domain free when you sign up
- They install WordPress for you so that you don’t have to do it yourself
- They have servers in North America, Europe and Asia and you can choose which one suits you
- They are manned by some serious WordPress experts and their technical support is excellent
- You’ll get invoiced in your own currency
Trust me, I’ve been around and I can tell you that there are plenty of web hosts that are nothing short of garbage and I don’t want you to get caught out by choosing the wrong one.
As you are starting out, I recommend that you go for the shared hosting SiteGround ‘StartUp’ plan.
This allows you to host one website and it is the cheapest option. You should be able to get this for under $5.00 USD (or equivalent) a month and there are often special offers making it lower than this.
