Ingredients

Instructions

Preparations

  1. Read this article https://wpformation.com/choisir-hebergement-wordpress/
  2. Choose your hosting provider. I recommend Infomaniak.com if you're starting out — that's where I host this blog. But WPserveur.net or alouit-multimedia.com are also very good choices. OVH and 1&1 will work as well.

The recipe

  1. Create an account or log in if you already have one
  2. Create your domain name or enter one you already own (we'll connect it later). Add a WordPress site with the default setup (one or more pages)

SEO seasoning

  2. Choose your site from the dropdown menu and click "install"
  3. Check "Free SSL certificate (https)" then install the certificate.
  4. Home/Domain & Hosting/Manage hostings/YOURSITE/My WordPress Site then "configure", then "settings", and choose your domain name that starts with Recipe No.4 On the importance of properly securing with SSL
