Why take this course?
As a website investor I have owned and setup web hosting for literally hundreds of websites. In this course, the focus is on the end result. You will go through a fast, straightforward process to choose a new domain (website name), get the domain setup on a web hosting account and learn the basics of web hosting that you will need to know to operate your site. (Oh, and we’ll install WordPress!)
- It will be fast and efficient
- It will be a high quality web hosting provider
- It will be cost effective
- What you learn will apply to any future websites you may buy or create
So what exactly will you learn?
- The do’s and don’ts in choosing a domain name
- The best tool for brainstorming names and finding whether they are available
- How to setup web hosting
- How to associate the domain with the web host
- How to setup an email account for the web site
- How to install WordPress with the famous 1-click installation
- How to install Filezilla FTP software and use it
- And much more…
Is This For You?
That depends. This is for beginners. If you haven’t setup web hosting or purchased a domain before, this is probably the best place to start.
If you don’t have an idea for a website in mind yet, and want to learn the process before you commit, this is also for you.
If that’s not you, check out my other courses!
If it is you, I’ll see you in Module 1.

Because the instructor was detailed about his teachings but I think it will be better for me if I take the course on my laptop

This was a very helpful course, Just enough depth to learn a few new things, but simple enough anymore could follow and understand.

Very well explained. The best part was he did each and every step literally instead of just explaining and not doing it.

It covered a lot of areas most other courses skip over. A basic overview in plain English of setting up your own website using bluehost. Excellent.

Learned a lot from this short course. Being new to web development and all it was quite informative for me. One improvement can be that the instructor should also discuss alternative ways for doing the same thing (web hosting).

Great instructor, as a small business startup I love to get at least one great and useful tip and this one was about FTP use for backups rather than buying their tools. From Ramiro with rcrcomputersdfw.com, Thank you for a great lesson.

its pretty basic, stuff I already knew. The price for me was the same whether I used his affiliate link or not. I kept feeling the purpose of the course was to show off his affiliate link to bluehost. got my money's worth since it was free. lol.

Fairly bare bones material and more of a how to with one particular hosting company. However does cover the basics.

The Information is understandable, not too long, and I can fact check the information and it was correct. I have insight on how to run my own Hosting company and have not finished the course. That's great.
