- 1). Choose a host provider. While the provider will list a per month price, most providers charge for at least a year up front and require a credit card for payment. The provider will also need an external email address to send information about the hosting account to you.
- 2). Sign up for the hosting provider. Choose a domain name then fill out your information. The provider will ask you for the domain name or web address you want before allowing you to sign up. The hosting company will check to make sure it is available. Once you find an available address, the provider will ask for your name, address, email, phone number and credit card information. It can take up to 24 hours for website hosting to be set up. This varies from company to company.
- 3). Log in to your website control panel using the information the company sends you in email. When your hosting is set up, you will receive an email with login information, including a user name and password.
- 4). Scroll down the screen to the Software / Services section. Click on the icon for Wordpress. This will take you to the Simple Scripts to set up a blog. Click on "Install."
- 5). Fill in the name you want for the blog and the email address and click "OK." The blog will be installed and set up on your personal web page.
