Want to earn online or want to bring your business online, having a website is a good way to start. But hey now you don’t need to spend lots of cash to have your own website. You can make a website on your own and here I will help you to step by step through how to install WordPress in Cpanel and how easy it is to make your own website.
WordPress is a Content Management system is shortly known as CMS which helps you to directly utilize several themes and plugins to make your own website. The best part of it is that you don’t need to learn to code (HTML, CSS, PHP, etc).
You got the prebuild demo website that you can directly import and with few designing and content changes your website is good to go. These WordPress themes and demo website are developed by WordPress developers, there is are the big agency that provides professional and good looking themes like Thrive Themes and MyThemeShop, you can go to their website and download their awesome themes. If you are serious about having your website then you can invest in their paid themes, you will get a lot of support and customization features from it.
I use the Astra theme which is also a very good option if you are looking for a lightweight website.
I am so much focusing on the theme from the beginning as it is a very essential part to have a good and long term sustainable website.
Now coming back to how to start with WordPress, the first thing that you will need is a Domain and Hosting.
As you all know the domain is the address for your website, I recommend GoDaddy to have your domain, you can get your domain here at a very cheap price.
For the hosting, you can go with Bluehost, A2 Hosting, SiteGround these are the best hosting you will ever get.
Ok now you got your domain and hosting, and it is the time to install your WordPress host your WordPress on your hosting account.
Every hosting provides you a Cpanel which contains a lot of functionalities with installing many different CMS such as Joomla, Magento, Drupal with WordPress.
(I will make a separate blog series for these CMS as they are also as good as WordPress for building different niche websites)
