0.33 -> In this video, I'm going to be going over Bluehost and WordPress in a complete Bluehost

4.33 -> WordPress Tutorial so you can successfully get your WordPress site created.

8.26 -> Not only will I be going over the steps in signing up with Bluehost, I’ll be covering

12.349 -> how to install WordPress on Bluehost, how to set up WordPress on Bluehost, along with

17.18 -> showing you how to create your site with professional WordPress templates using a drag and drop

22 -> editor making building your WordPress site quick and easy.

24.949 -> I'll also be providing you with a Bluehost discount so you can save some money on your

28.67 -> Bluehost domain name and web hosting purchase.

31.439 -> You will get up to 70% off Bluehost hosting plus a free domain name.

35.04 -> Let's get started with the Bluehost WordPress tutorial.

38.49 -> The first thing you want to do to get started with Bluehost is to click the link in the

41.6 -> description below so you can be taken to Bluehost and so you can take advantage of the Bluehost

46.06 -> discount by getting up to 70% off + a free domain name.

50.25 -> The discount is automatically applied.

52.82 -> A little disclosure.

54.16 -> The link is an affiliate link, meaning I'll receive a commission from Bluehost at no extra

58.44 -> cost to you.

59.54 -> Plus, you'll get an awesome Bluehost discount.

62.49 -> Once you click the link in the description below, you'll be on the Bluehost page.

66.62 -> Click the get started button.

68.06 -> You'll now be on the Bluehost plans page.

70.63 -> You'll see four different plans you can choose from.

73.83 -> The Basic, Plus, Choice Plus, and Pro Plan.

78.24 -> You’ll see the Bluehost hosting terms you can choose from are 12 and 36 months.

83.58 -> You’ll get the cheapest pricing with the 12-month term.

87.24 -> The Basic plan is a great plan if you are going to have just one site.

91.12 -> If you are going to have multiple sites the plus plan is a good plan as it allows unlimited

95.7 -> websites.

97.31 -> The Choice Plus plan allows unlimited websites and comes with free domain privacy and free

102.81 -> automated backups for 1 year.

105.77 -> Domain Privacy protects your personal information from the public and will show Bluehost’s

110.35 -> default contact information instead of yours in the public whois database.

115.43 -> The automated backup will backup your site daily and will allow you to restore your site

119.53 -> to a previous backup with a click of a button in case something happens to it like a website

124.71 -> crash or an editing mistake.

127.549 -> The Pro plan comes with unlimited websites and includes domain privacy, free automated

132.91 -> backups for a year, and includes a free dedicated IP.

137.46 -> With a dedicated IP instead of your site sharing the same IP address with others, you’ll

141.9 -> have your own IP.

143.97 -> The Pro plan also comes with optimized CPU resources which is good for high-traffic sites.

150.58 -> For most, the basic, plus, or choice plus plan is what you’d want to choose from.

155.47 -> You can always upgrade to the Pro plan as your site traffic grows to a high volume.

156.78 -> I’m going to choose the Basic plan for this tutorial.

159.48 -> Once you decide on a plan to choose click the select button.

163.18 -> You’ll now be on the domain page where you can choose your free domain name for your

167.26 -> site.

168.569 -> You can type in and search available domains under the create a new domain.

173.92 -> If you already own a domain name you can enter it in where it says use a domain you own.

179.38 -> If you can’t decide on a domain name you can click the create my domain later link

183.23 -> and you can choose your free domain name at a later date in the Bluehost dashboard.

189.29 -> Click next to proceed to the next step.

191.5 -> You’ll now be on the create your account page.

194.44 -> You now want to input your account information.

197.62 -> Next, is the package information section.

200.88 -> It’ll have the Bluehost plan you chose with the term, the price, and you’ll see domain

206.36 -> registration free as well as the Let’s Encrypt SSL Certificate being free.

211.72 -> Next, is the Bluehost package extras section.

215.27 -> What you see here can vary on the plan you chose as some plans come with some of these

219.31 -> or if you didn't choose a free domain name Domain Privacy won’t show.

223.33 -> All of these Bluehost package extras are completely optional and up to you whether you want any

228.9 -> of them or not.

230.98 -> First is Domain Privacy + Protection.

233.08 -> I do recommend domain privacy + protection as it'll keep your personal information private

238.819 -> so that spammers and telemarketers won't have access to your personal information and contact

244.7 -> you by phone and email with offers of their services.

249.599 -> When you register a domain name no matter what company you choose the domain goes into

253.66 -> the public whois database as domain names are regulated.

258.519 -> If you select domain privacy + protection it'll show Bluehost’s default contact information

263.539 -> instead of yours.

265.289 -> Highly recommend domain privacy + protection.

268.379 -> Next, is Codeguard Basic.

270.909 -> This will backup your site daily and you can restore your site to a previous backup with

275.069 -> a click of a button with their one-click restore.

277.339 -> An example of where this package extra can be good is if your site gets hacked into or

282.74 -> you mess something while creating it, or editing it you can restore it to the version right

287.449 -> before whatever happened took place and everything will be back to normal.

292.509 -> The next addon is Yoast SEO Premium.

295.99 -> Yoast is the #1 WordPress plugin for SEO.

299.77 -> Something I want to note is Yoast SEO is a free plugin you can download in WordPress.

305.289 -> Yoast SEO Premium comes with additional features such as full access to Yoast SEO academy that

311.039 -> helps you learn about SEO, 24/7 Premium support, it’ll save time and spot ranking opportunities

318.849 -> with Yoast SEO workouts, prevent your visitors from ending up on dead links, content quality

325.999 -> and link suggestions as you write your content, you can view your blog posts as they would

330.96 -> show in the search results and on social media posts to help you optimize better.

337.069 -> Yoast SEO Premium is completely optional and could be worth it for some depending on your

342.129 -> knowledge of SEO.

343.979 -> The free version of Yoast SEO is really good and helpful.

347.47 -> Next, you’ll see Single Domain SSL.

351.059 -> Bluehost does come with a free SSL Certificate for your site so this add-on isn't necessary

356.649 -> unless you want to upgrade to a Positive SSL Certificate which will allow you to show a

361.05 -> site security badge on your site if you'd like and with the positive SSL Certificate

365.969 -> you'll have a $10,000 limited guarantee warranty by Comodo which protects your customers.

372.11 -> Next, you will see Sitelock Security Essentials.

375.93 -> This add-on checks your website daily for malware and protects your site from hackers

380.289 -> and malicious attacks.

382.319 -> It will notify you if your site has been hacked into and malicious code has been placed into

386.86 -> it.

387.96 -> Sitelock Essentials also removes malware automatically.

391.93 -> This add-on can be beneficial and give you peace of mind if your site were to get hacked

396.199 -> into and malware is placed on it.

398.659 -> It isn’t necessary though.

401.09 -> The next add-on is Google Workspace Starter.

403.909 -> This package extra provides you with an email address ending in your domain name along with

408.139 -> other features provided by Google workspace such as Gmail, calendar, chat, cloud storage

414.979 -> with drive, video conferencing with meet, and many more Google workspace features.

419.719 -> I do want to note that Bluehost does come with free email addresses ending in your domain

424.469 -> name so this add-on isn't necessary unless you really want to utilize all the added features

429.52 -> with Google workspace.
