Get your hosting

Install WordPress
Once you’ve bought your hosting, you can install wordpress in just a couple clicks. Login to your new hosting account and use the search bar to find WordPress. Click install and select your new web address (called domain name). Put in a username and password that is not admin and an easy password. Just click install and you will be sent to the login page.

To login into your website, just add /wp-login.php to the end of your website link. There you can enter your username and password. You can install a new theme in the appearance section. There are thousands of themes to choose from. Take your pick of which one has the look and feel of what you need. You can edit the settings by customizing it or there may be other theme options. Any theme will have a simple set up guide you can follow.
Make your website work
Next you will need to install your plugins. These make your website work. Again they all have instructions and a simple youtube search will always get you to an instructional video. Two plugins that are a requirement on any site are WordFence (makes your site secure) and Yoast (makes your seo easy).
