How to Host WordPress: best blog host setup tutorial

Step #1: How to Host WordPress

Ready to setup WordPress? First you need a "host". Every website has one. That's where you put all your text, images, videos, and other files that your website visitors will see.

There are approximately eleventy billion hosts to choose from (we made this number up) which can make the sign up process feel a little stressful. (How do I choose the right one?!) And most of them can get pretty expensive, chargring $15-40 per month for a basic package... plus any overage fees if your website becomes more popular. Lame!

Our experience shows Dreamhost to be the best blog host:

Awesome 24/7 California based email support
