With all of the different  themes available today all over the internet you can make your web site look any way you want.

In this particular instance I’m not talking about a hosted blog on WordPress.com but your own website on your own domain.

There are a couple of things you will need to do before you can carry out
this procedure:

• Keyword research
• Decide on a domain name
• Get your own hosting account
• Point your name servers

It’s important to decide on a market, or niche prior to buying your domain name. If your site is related to one particular niche, carry out keyword research so that your domain name contains the keyword or some of the important words in the key word phrase.

For example if your site is about dog training, which is a fairly broad term, then try to get a domain name that contains the phrase for instance “dogtraining.com.”

Next set yourself up with a hosting account, there are many good ones to choose from. If you search on Google you can usually find discount coupons for these services and you should be able to secure yourself  hosting at a reasonable rate.

Your hosting company will send you a welcome e-mail which will list your domain servers (DNS), take this information back to your registrar, log into your account and change your name servers to point them to your new hosting company.

This may sound complicated but you are just telling your registrar where your domain name is hosted.

You will also need the username and password from your welcome e-mail to enable you to log into your c panel. Please keep this information is safe but easy to find.

To log into your c panel type  www.yourdomain.com/cpanel  into your browser window.

So if you’re at this point congratulations you now have your own domain name and hosting account. Click on the video below to see how easy it is to install WordPress on your new domain.
