Self-hosting with WordPress starts by purchasing a domain name and then choosing a reliable, secure web hosting provider. Some of our top choices for WordPress hosting include Bluehost, SiteGround, or Hostinger. Next, install WordPress to your hosting provider dashboard, and get started with basic settings, an easy theme, and simple WordPress plugins. As your site grows, consider how to better configure and optimize it with specialized tools and plugins. Continue to monitor and maintain every new site you create, pushing core updates when prompted.
