Quick Summary
Web Hosting is where your website lives (think of it as your house). A typical WordPress Web Hosting company, such as SiteGround, provides you a place to park your website files.
After buying your domain name, you will need a web hosting to park your website files.
To do so, you can buy your web hosting from SiteGround in 4 easy steps.
If you would like to understand why we recommend SiteGround, feel free to read more at our post “The Best Web Hosting For Website Starters.”

Here we go!
STEP 1: Go to SiteGround.
STEP 2: Select the “GrowBig” plan.
STEP 3: Enter the domain you have bought.
STEP 4: Enter your info, make appropriate selections, then make payment.
Finally, remember to check your email for your receipt and login info!
Detailed Steps
STEP 1: Go to SiteGround
Go to SiteGround. Click “Get Started” under the Web Hosting plan.
STEP 2: Select the "GrowBig" plan
We recommend website starters to get the “GrowBig” plan.
The reason is simple — Paying $3 more per month gives you so much more benefits (you can compare from the table picture below).
Most importantly, you get more leeway to expand your website visits; 25,000 vs 10,000 visits monthly is a huge difference.
We all know “If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.”
Surely, you don’t want to start off by limiting your website traffic potential.
Therefore, don’t just go for the cheapest web hosting plan in this case.
Of course, you can always upgrade to ‘GoGeek’ in the future when needed.
But for now, the GrowBig plan is sufficient for website starters.
If you would like to see a more in depth comparison of the plans, you can read it at “The Best Web Hosting For Website Starters.”
STEP 3: Enter the domain you have bought
Select “I already have a domain.”
Then enter the domain that you have just bought from GoDaddy or from any other domain name registrar.
Click “Proceed.”
STEP 4: Enter your info and make appropriate selections, then make payment
Firstly, for data center, just select one that is nearest to your location.
Next, for hosting period, we recommend at least 24 months to go with your domain bought for 2 years.
However, if you foresee you would need web hosting for more than 24 months and would rather keep renewal price to the minimum, go ahead and choose 36 months.
Lastly, before acknowledging the T&Cs and making payment, check to see if there are any extra services which are automatically applied.
Be sure to uncheck the extra services, unless you really need them or feel like splurging.
YAY!
You have successfully purchased your web hosting.
Remember to check your email for your receipt and login info!
