THIS WHOLE WEBSITE was created with the free installation of WordPress that comes with our Linux hosting plans. In your cpanel just click and go – OR, let us setup a FREE WEBSITE for you.
No knowledge of HTML is needed. Just follow the WordPress prompts. There are over a thousand themes available for WordPress, and the beauty of these is that you can download them freely from www.wordpress.org and many other sites.
Changing a theme is a breeze. Just select and download a new theme. Upload to the themes folder, then choose and activate in the WordPress Admin under “Appearance.” This can be via FTP or within your WordPress Admin.
You can change your theme at any time even after you have created many web pages on your website.
Platypus Hosting can install such a website for you for just the cost of the hosting: $52 per year for 40 Mb. (There are many other plans). No setup cost. Then you just type in your content and upload your pictures.
Platypus Hosting will link to your website from their highly ranked website. Links pages have less than 50 links per page. This gets your new website quickly listed on Google and other major search engines.
- Choose a domain name (or see subdomains at Platypus Hosting).
- Choose hosting plan.
- Install WordPress through your hosting control panel.
- Login to WordPress Admin.
- Start pasting or typing your content.
- Upload any images you want.
- Evaluate other WordPress themes and try them out on your website
That’s it! You will immediately see your website online in your browser. Within a couple of weeks of setting up hosting with Platypus Hosting you will be listed in Google.
In your hosting control panel you can setup email addresses and/or email forwarders. You can see Web Stats analysed – showing how many visitors and what pages they stopped on. Subdomains can be installed. Other domain names you own can be freely parked on this website and open it.
On your website, WordPress let’s you choose to make it a blog or a normal website. If you don’t want a blog, set one of your pages to be the home page. If you do want a blog then whatever you put into “Posts” shows as your home page.
If you just choose a theme, Platypus Websites will install WordPress and get you started.
