    Well, if going with WordPress you will need a few things:

    1. Domain name (you got that already)
    2. A host - I recommend hostgator, but other might disagree.
    3. Once you get hosting account - you will get DNS servers. Point your registrar for your domain to those servers.
    4. Login to your host and install wordpress. You can do it via Fantastico but I recommend you do it manually. WordPress.org has excellent documentation on it ...

    As mentioned above Wordpress is free with Hostgator. You can join them for a penny here

    Hi There -

    You might like the affordable, "ProBlogger" plan at WebFaddsHosting.com.


    You sign-up, use the free installer to set-up WordPress (tech. support will help), then point your domain name you bought at your hosting location (tech. support will help on that too). Then you're up ad running.

    PM me with any questions... and best of luck.

    - Scott

    most hosting provider may have done up a tutorial for installing this popular blogging program, check the knowledge base or send a pre-sales inquiry to your shortlisted web host to see if there is one ready.
