Common WordPress Questions:

How do I create a WordPress website?

You need web hosting first and I would recommend getting a custom domain name. Once you have your website hosting plan, you can install WordPress for free. All you need to do is download the latest version of WordPress from here: https://wordpress.org/download/. Then, you can install WordPress on your web host, install a theme, and set-up your website.

How do I create a free WordPress website?

You can get started with a free plan at https://wordpress.com/, but there are major limitations. You can still create a beautiful website, but it will use a WordPress domain name and it will have ads on the page. I would recommend investing a small amount of money to get a domain name and a web hosting plan with Bluehost, HostGator, or another provider and then installing WordPress.

How much does it cost to create a WordPress website?

It can cost as low as $3/month with the right web host.

Can I have 2 websites on WordPress?

Yes, once you have a hosting plan you can create multiple WordPress websites. Some hosting plans, especially dedicated hosting plans, have enough resources to host 5-10 WordPress websites that get traffic and have a lot of files.

Is WordPress hard to learn?

It takes time to learn the WordPress platform, but it is something that you will learn very quickly. In addition, there are advanced options in WordPress that you can learn as you continue to learn WordPress.

Is WordPress easy to use?

Yes, there is a learning curve, but within a week or two you will get used to the platform and after several months of use it will become second nature to use WordPress.

Is a WordPress website free?

You can create a free WordPress website, but you are better off making a small investment to host your WordPress website and pick out a custom domain name.
