Even if you are new to the blogging scene, you can still make your blog thrive by following a few simple tools. Bluehost is one of them. The first thing is first, you need to set up your blog on WordPress.
To monetize your blog, you need to host it yourself. You can find out more about how to get the basics of your blog up and running with WordPress here. But let’s get to the hosting part of it. My choice is 100% Bluehost. I have been an active member of the Bluehost community (and use it to host LexPaige.com) since the start of my website/blog in 2016. Bluehost is the only hosting service officially recommended by WordPress and has been the number-one recommended hosting service for its platform for almost 10 years.
All you need to do is head over to the Bluehost website and click the green button on the homepage screen to get started. From there, you can pick the plan you wish to use. Plans are really simple covering how you wish to host your blog online, how long, and domain privacy plans. Choosing your plan will look like the images below.
After picking your plan, the rest is even EASIER! Bluehost guides you on how to create your account, the naming of your blog, and your hosting package. You can pick from hosting 1, 2, 3, or 5 years but note, you can not pay monthly installments. I usually do 3-year plans because I like to set it and forget it.
After you are done with all the basic steps, you then can start to design your blog with the tools they provide you and an email address for your site. If you follow the steps above with the Bluehost hosting, your site will start to automatically install on WordPress. My favorite thing about this is there are tips and a 24/7 support team in case you face any issues. And from there, start creating your blog and enjoy it!
I can’t say enough about the benefits of using WordPress with Bluehost as your web hosting platform is endless. Honestly, LexPaige.com wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Bluehost. If you sign up through my LexPaige.com link, you’ll receive a special offer of shared hosting for only $2.95/month for 36 months, as well as a free domain name for a year.
