What’s the deal?

You want to start a blog or website, but you’re intimidated by terms like FTP, Cpanel and MySQL. You want to take advantage of the easy content management and blogging capabilities of WordPress, but you aren’t quite sure how to get started.

If you want to take a crack at it, I highly encourage giving it a shot. I even have a full tutorial for getting set up, equipped with screenshots and video!

But, if you just want to bypass all the techy stuff, I have a great offer for you. Just use my affiliate link to buy some hosting from Hostgator (no commitment, starting at $4/mo) and I’ll personally set you up with a fresh installation of WordPress.

What’s in it for you, Nick?

If you want to start a site or blog, the first thing you’ll need is some hosting. Any hosting worth your time is not free, but good hosting is also very affordable. If you’ve looked into hosting at all, you’ve most certainly come across Hostgator, and for good reason. They are simply the best host for the money. Here’s a review of a few of the most popular hosts.

Just start an account at Hostgator. There is no commitment and prices start at around $4/month. All I ask is that you use my affiliate link. I get a commission when people use my link to buy hosting from Hostgator, and I’m more than happy to reciprocate by getting you up and running!

FAQ

You want my log in info?
Unfortunately, it’s necessary that I get into your domain and hosting accounts to get you up and running. I will literally be in and out, and when I’m done you are welcome to change your password. I truly have no interest in taking advantage of people!

Couldn’t you access my credit card info if you have access to my accounts?
Nope. In your domain account it will be obfuscated (ex. **********999). In Hostgator your billing info is completely separate!

How long does this take?
Upon confirming your hosting signup, I will get things set up within 48 hrs (usually much shorter). Domain nameserver propagation (pointing your domain to your host) can take between 1 and 24 hrs to complete once requested.

In total everything should be ready within 3 days, however in most cases it will be much quicker.
