We're going to set up a blog using BlueHost service. To to this click here you will be taken to the home page, then click on the 'get started now' button if you want to signup right away.
1. Click here to get the Promo Sale price of 3.49/mo onBlueHost before 30th of the month and then click ‘get started now’ button.
2. Select a plan. I recommend the “starter” plan for new
bloggers. Click “Select” to choose your plan.
3. Enter the domain name you wish to use into the box on
your left and click “next” to see if it is available or not.
If you already own
a domain name and wish to use it for your blog, then type it into the box in
the right and click “next”. Note that the box is only for those with registered
domain names.
4. In case the domain name is not available, BlueHost will
generate similar names that are available for you to choose from. You may
choose one of the suggested names or keep trying until you get your
choice. These free tools mentioned earlier will help you in choosing a domain name for your blog.

5. After you have successfully chosen a domain name for your
blog, you will be taken to the registration page where you will supply your billing
details.
6. The next step is where to choose your hosting package and
other options.
You may choose 36,
24 or 12 months package. The choice is yours to make. If you are thinking of long term blogging I advice you go for 36
months package. You may uncheck the
boxes next to the other products when signing-up. You can sign up for this
options later if you wish.
7. After completing these steps which should take you just a
few minutes, go to the BlueHost homepage and login by clicking the log in tab
at the top. Supply the login details (domain name or username and password) you
chose when registering.

the software you will use for your blog. Please, close any pop-up windows, then
look under the “Website” heading and click the “Install WordPress” button.

Once you click on the WordPress link it will take you to
Mojo Marketplace which is where you install WordPress. To stall it, click on
the “Install” button.
Check the “Show advanced options” box. Then enter your site
title, username, and password. All of these can be changed later except the username.

minutes.
