Bluehost – Best Hosting For Beginners & Bloggers
Bluehost – Best Hosting For Beginners & Bloggers;
Now that the way we work has changed globally and probably will not go back to the way it was, we have got to look at the options that are available to us. Because of Covid-19 and all of it’s implications therein, we have to look at the alternatives. Some people are now working remotely and some also unfortunately, may have lost their jobs. That said, perhaps now more so than ever, those people are looking at starting their own website or blog. This is probably the most opportune time to dip our feet into the online marketing world and test the water for ourselves. I had a manager who often told me…’you’ve always got to turn a disadvantage into an advantage’ and years later, I can see how appropriate that line or motivation is.
If we have decided to create a website or start a blogging website, we will need to find a hosting company for that purpose, we will also need a domain name and that is where Bluehost comes into the equation. They have the most uncomplicated and user friendly system for starting a website, especially if we know nothing about that particular area. The fact is, creating or starting a website actually sounds more daunting and frightening than it actually is. With Bluehost and their award winning customer service, we have round the clock support and assistance all the way. Once we have created an account in Bluehost and selected our hosting plan, the next steps to starting or creating a website are laid out for us in easy to follow guidelines.
Why is Bluehost the best hosting for Beginners;
From my own experience of over five years with Bluehost, maybe I am a little biased and or a little impartial, but that as it may be, I have nothing but good words to say about Bluehost. They are ideal for beginners who are just starting out on their online adventures and the process of getting a website created is seamless. Not only that, they have terrific customer service, super fast online chat and really knowledgeable phone support services. Perhaps, I shouldn’t say this, but to make an error or mistake in the setting-up process, really helps us. Because, going forward, we learn the steps involved for ourselves, we become educated in the whole area of creating a website or blog.
The great misnomer that once upon a time, we needed website designers or technical graduates to set up a website has been really put to bed. Indeed so many people have begun this journey of creating websites as a career, such is their knowledge and passion for doing so. They are now offering their services in such online platforms as Fiverr, Upwork, 99designs and many more. They have created a large community of like minded freelancers and offer their services at really competitive rates. So if the task of setting up a WordPress website, within Bluehost, we always have these alternatives to fall back on.
Website hosting simplified;
So what is required to get a website up and running…..? Let’s peel back the layers and look under the hood. We will be mildly surprised at how easy it is to navigate through these steps. I will do a bullet point list here under and explain the steps individually thereafter.
- A Domain,
- Bluehost hosting plan or package
- WordPress Theme
- Set-up & Support
- Product, Service or Topic.
In the above list we can see how little is required to getting started with a website or blog. In a previous post, which you can read here, you will see that we covered the price points that Bluehost has to offer. A lot of online posts tell us that we can get a hosting package for as little as $3 per month. Yes, we can, but that plan will only accommodate one website, we may need to move up to the next level, which will cater for multiple websites going forward.
A domain;
So, what is a domain name… A domain name will be the online title or name of our website. Take this website for example, whose domain name is envatrybe.com. That service is also provided by Bluehost and a domain costs approx $10 per annum. It’s always great to buy the domain name and hosting from the same provider, as it’s less trouble to get the domain connected to our WordPress theme.
Bluehost hosting plan or package;
Bluehost provides the hosting for our website or blog. Hosting is a service or system that enables our website to be found on the internet. The hosting enables us to allow our files and website be found online. It’s what happens behind the scenes and we don’t need to delve into the finer points of the actual hosting. Bluehost looks after all of those tasks for us, so we know it’s in good hands.
WordPress Theme;
The WordPress theme is used within our website and decides how our website will look. Thankfully there are an unending selection of themes to select or choose from. For the professional or serious blogger, there are premium themes to choose from, but for the beginner a free theme will do us for starters.
Set-up & Support;
This area we have covered already on this post. it’s our back-up and our friend at times. If we decide to do this task ourselves, we may need a contact or someone to ask some relevant questions for the creation of our website.
Product, Service or Topic:
This is the reason why we want to set up a website for ourselves in the first place. We want to market or promote our services, products, digital services or just blog about some particular topic. We go ahead and format our website in the fashion that we like, ie, have some pages or posts about our particular niche or topic. Topics like health and wealth, fitness, dating and relationships, affiliate marketing, blogging, work from home and more are some of the most popular topics that people blog about.

The fact that Bluehost and WordPress have partnered together is one the greatest assets for the beginner blogger or website builder. This partnership has simplified the whole process, whereby, we don’t need any technical nous, coding or html experience in order to create a website. The bluehost interface gives the customer a great user experience, so much so, we cannot but be successful.
