Make your own blog

As a matter of fact, everyone has a reason as to why they need a blog and have an idea of what it all entails. Hence we will guide you on how to create a blog easily. There are two very important things that one need to know before proceeding:

  • First and foremost, one should be able to choose a domain name. A domain name is in other words is the name of the blog that you are going to make. It is recommended that your domain name should be related to the content of your blog. It should also be short and simple so that anyone who need to find it can easily find it.
  • Secondly, is the choice of a blogging platform. A blogging platform is that which makes holds the blog and makes it available in the website. There are commonly two known platforms; Blogger and WordPress. Blogger is a free platform while WordPress has a free option and also a self-hosted option. I would prefer and advice one to choose a self-hosted option.

The choice of a hosting company is also a big problem that you may face. There are many companies but I would prefer eHost. This is a hosting company that makes all circumstances favorable for the client. Their user interface is simple meaning that you can find your own way around easily. As other companies renew domain life per year, eHost gives it for life. If one tends to have a problem with their service at any given time, they will immediately help right after contacting them. Their space is unlimited meaning that you can store anything in your blog.

 

Procedure of how to make the blog.

It is just a few step task that takes extremely less time. All you require at these moment is a credit card or your PayPal visa card.

First visit the eHost site and once the website has opened, click on the option “get started now”. This will lead you to another page where you will be required to feed your domain name and then you will have to choose the extension you want. Initially, it has already chosen .com for you meaning that if it is the one you want you do not have to change it anyway. If you chose a domain name that is not available, then you will be required to choose another one, after all that is successful, you will see an option that required you to feed in your full names, your email and password and after that click continue. This will lead you to another page where you are required to precisely fill in the personal details, means of payment (if you are making payments using a credit card then the operation will be successful but if one is using a PayPal you will be redirected to their website so that you can complete the operation) and duration of the package. You will notice that the package has a 50% discount. On the account plan option fill either 12, 24 or 36 months. It is advisable to countercheck whatever you have filled in so that you can make sure they are correct and then click on complete. After that is done, one will be asked to buy some add-ons where you can buy any that you want but if you are not interested just scroll down and click on No Thanks option. By now you have successfully created an eHost account by the a simple and precise procedure you have followed.

Installing WordPress on your hosting account.

You have already purchased your eHost ticket and now you will be taken to it. Here you will have to install the WordPress in the account. You will see a choice of cPanel Hosting and Website Builder. Since you are using WordPress, I would advise on using cPanel Hosting. Making a choice at this level is important since once you choose one it will be impossible to change later. Next, move down to “Software/Services” and select “Quick Install” which will help to do this in an easy, prescribed and fast way. Under “popular Installs” select “WordPress” and then click on install WordPress to proceed. There is a form which you are required to fill where the following should be put into consideration.

  • Select your domain name in the first field
  • In the sub-directory leave it blank.
  • Choose a username which is simple to remember and secure from other people since you cannot change the username later.

One might think that the procedure is costly but in fact it will cost you around $60 for the whole thing. Visit us today and own your own blog.
