On website hosting Then we're going to scroll down to the Different hosting plans now I recommend To get the premium web hosting it has Everything that we need for our website And we can also get a free domain so the Name of your website is going to be Included in this package right here so I'm going to click on add to cart Then here we can choose our billing Cycle meaning how many months in advance We're going to pay for our hosting the Cheapest option is going to be the 48 Months option I would recommend this Option if you know that you're going to Use your website for multiple years However if you're not sure if you're Going to use your website for that long You can also go with one of the lower Options here if you want to get the free Domain so the free name of your website You want to go with either the 12 months The 24 or the 48 months option now I'm Going to just do a an example website Here in this video so I'm going to go With the 12 month option for now and Then we're going to scroll down where We're going to need to type in our email Address then here we can choose our Payment option and then before you move On to the payment you want to make sure To use the coupon code which will get You an additional discount so you want To click on have a coupon code and then
Type in Medics media right here click on Apply and then as you can see here it Will give you an additional discount Then simply type in your payment Information and click on submit secure Payment then we're going to set a Password for our hostinger account and Click on confirm And now we want to go straight into our Hosting or dashboard so let's click on The hosting or logo here at the top And this will take us into our hostinger Account now as you can see here we can Now claim our free domain that's the Next step that we're going to do so Let's click on claim domain here Then here you want to choose your domain Extension I recommend to go with a.com Domain if you can sometimes your name Isn't available for.com so you can also Go with a.net for example or a DOT Co But try to find your domain with a.com And then you can type in your domain Name here I recommend to choose Something that is easy to remember that Doesn't have any weird characters or Numbers but for this video I'm just Going to type in something random like Medics media info let's see if this is Still available click check availability All right it's still available and we Can get our domain for free because that Is included in our hosting plan so now We can just click on claim domain
To complete our domain registration we Also need to fill in some contact Information so let's just do that here Then click on continue Now to complete our domain verification You now want to go into your email inbox Where you should get an email that looks Like this and then you want to click on This link right here to verify your Domain and this will take us here where It says your email address has been Verified successfully so we can now Close these Pages here and reload the Hostinger dashboard And now here we can see that our domain Is active and our email is verified so That's it for the first step of building The website which was getting hosting And our domain the next step is going to Be installing WordPress so to install WordPress we're going to go to hosting Here on the top menu And then where it says premium web Hosting we're going to click on setup Start now And then here we're simply going to Click on skip I don't want personalized Experience here we're going to click on Create a new website Now we want to use WordPress so we're Going to click on select here under WordPress And then here we can create our WordPress account so it already takes
The email that we have used for Hostinger so all you need to do is set a Password then click on continue Then here they ask us if you want to Already install some plugins to our Website for now we're not going to do That so we're going to click on skip I Will manage plugins later And we also don't want to choose a Template just yet so again we're going To click on skip I don't need a template Here we can now choose our domain so you Should be able to see the domain that You have chosen before and then click on Select here And then here we can also choose our Server location so we can click on this Icon here and then we can see different Locations and these locations will Basically be where your website files Will be stored so what you want to do is Choose a location that is closest to Where your visitors of your website are Going to be coming from so if you have a Lot of people visiting your website from Europe you might want to choose a Location that is close to these people Which is here in Europe the UK for Example if you have more people coming From the US then you might want to Choose a server that is located in the US because that will make your website a Lot faster for people located in this Area so I'm just going to click on
Cancel here and go with the default Location and then click on finish setup Then let's click on edit website And this will take us directly to WordPress so let's click this window Here and then click on the WordPress Icon on the top left and this should Take us into our WordPress dashboard so This is the place where you'll be able To manage and control your website and Whenever you want to come back to your WordPress dashboard all you have to do Is just go to your url box at the top Type in your domain name so this would Be Medics media Info.com for this example and then hit Forward slash WP hyphen admin which Stands for WordPress admin then hit Enter and this will take you back to Your WordPress dashboard and whenever You want to see how your website Currently looks like all you have to do Is go to your domain name at the top and Then click on visit site and this will Show you how your website currently Looks like when you want to go back to Your dashboard all you you have to do is Click on the WordPress icon here and This will take you back to the WordPress Dashboard so this was step two of Building our website which was Installing WordPress the next step is Going to be installing a theme which is Going to make building our website 10
Times easier so in your WordPress Dashboard you want to go to appearance Here on the left side menu and then Click on themes then let's click on add New And now the theme we're going to install Is called Astra in fact you can already See it here but if you don't see it you Can simply type in Astra here in the Search bar and then it should come up Then we're going to click on install Here Once it's installed you want to click on Activate And now we also want to install a plugin That will give us some pre-made designs To make creating our website a lot Easier so we're going to click on Plugins here on the left side and click On add new And then in the search bar you want to Type in starter Templates And then install this plugin here click Install now Then activate And now it has automatically opened up This plugin but if it doesn't open up For you you can basically go back to the Dashboard go to plugins click on plugins Here then scroll down to where it says Starter templates and then you want to Click on see Library And then it will take you back to this
