This whole process of starting a blog consists of three key elements: 1. Hosting 2. Domain 3. Blog 1. Hosting if you want to make a blog that is accessible over the internet you need a hosting account where your website is stored and available for download to users.

Also this tutorial relies on the usage of ipage, as the exact process is different with other hosting providers. ipage usually offers their web hosting package at 3.50$ per month but I will show a sneaky little trick to get their full service for only 1.99$/month. 2. Domain The domain name is the unique identification for a website, every website needs one and they are available with many different extensions like .com, .net, .org and a lot more. In this Tutorial we will register the domain together with our hosting account with ipage as they offer a free domain name registration with their hosting packages. 3.

Then we can design and customize our new blog with the WordPress Admin Panel, which allows easy customization without coding/programming language. I will introduce you to all the fundamental WordPress features and functions, such as posting content, changing the design, adding images, uploading your own logo, creating contact and policy pages, an overview of all the settings and of course adding more functionality by installing plugins.
