That&#8217;s huge!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Advantages_of_Using_WordPress\"><\/span>The Advantages of Using WordPress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The best thing about using WordPress is its simplicity, even for beginners. However, for a more professional-looking website, WordPress.org is the way to go, which is the self-hosted version. In this article, we will be discussing how to set up a WordPress.org site.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_the_Difference_Between_WordPresscom_and_WordPressorg\"><\/span>Understanding the Difference Between WordPress.com and WordPress.org<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before diving into the technical details, let&#8217;s understand the key difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org.<\/p>\n<p>WordPress.com is a free platform to create websites or blogs hosted by WordPress. However, it has many limitations, such as limited functionality, no access to the code, and lack of monetization options. On the other hand, with WordPress.org, you have complete control over your website. You can customize it to your heart&#8217;s content, add plugins, and install custom themes. However, to set up this version of WordPress, you need your domain name, hosting, and technical know-how.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Quick_Guide_to_Set_Up_Your_WordPressorg_Site\"><\/span>A Quick Guide to Set Up Your WordPress.org Site<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Choose a Domain Name and Purchase Hosting<\/strong><br \/>\n     Your domain name is the address of your website on the internet. Choose a domain name that&#8217;s easy to remember and represents your brand. You can purchase a domain name from a registrar such as GoDaddy or Namecheap. Hosting is where your website lives on the internet. Some popular web hosting companies are SiteGround, Bluehost, and DreamHost. Choose a hosting plan that offers features like one-click WordPress installation, automatic updates, and daily backups.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Install WordPress<\/strong><br \/>\n         Most hosting providers offer a one-click installation of WordPress. If your hosting provider doesn&#8217;t offer this feature, you&#8217;ll need to install WordPress manually. Download the latest version of WordPress from WordPress.org., create a MySQL database on your hosting account, upload WordPress files to the hosting account, navigate to your website&#8217;s domain name, and complete the installation process following the instructions given.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Choose a Theme<\/strong><br \/>\n        WordPress offers thousands of free and premium themes to customize the appearance of your website. Choose from themes like blog themes, business themes, or e-commerce themes. Free themes can be found in the WordPress theme repository, and premium ones from marketplaces like ThemeForest. Customize your theme by changing the colors, font style, and adding your logo.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Install Essential Plugins<\/strong><br \/>\n         Plugins are like apps for your WordPress website. They add additional functionality to your site, such as contact forms, social media buttons, and search engine optimization. Avoid installing too many plugins as they will slow down your website&#8217;s performance. Essential plugins to consider are Yoast SEO, WPForms, and Jetpack.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Your Content<\/strong><br \/>\n      Add pages like About Us, Contact Us, and Services to your website, along with engaging blog posts that are high quality and relevant for your visitors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Set Up Security Measures<\/strong><br \/>\n      Secure your WordPress site from hackers and malware by regularly backing up your website, installing a security plugin such as Sucuri or Wordfence, using strong passwords and two-factor authentication, keeping your WordPress core and plugins up-to-date, and disabling file editing in WordPress.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Launch Your Website<\/strong><br \/>\n      Before launching, ensure everything is working correctly and there are no broken links or errors. Optimize your website for search engines by using keywords and metadata.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>With WordPress.org, you have the power to create a professional-looking website customized to your needs. Follow these simple steps, choose reliable hosting, and secure your site. Optimize your content for search engines, and your site is ready to launch.
