What To Do After Buying Your Domain

You've got the domain — great first step! Now here's your complete roadmap to get WordPress running, upload your blog design, and start publishing posts.

1
Domain & Hosting

Buy Hosting & Connect Your Domain

A domain name is your address (e.g. yourblog.com). Hosting is the server that stores your website files. You need both. Popular beginner-friendly hosting options are Hostinger, Bluehost, and SiteGround.

  • Go to your hosting provider and purchase a hosting plan (shared hosting works fine to start).
  • During checkout, enter the domain you already bought — you'll be asked to connect it.
  • If hosting and domain are with different companies, log in to your domain registrar (e.g. GoDaddy, Namecheap), go to DNS settings, and update the Nameservers to point to your hosting company. Your host will give you 2 nameserver addresses.
  • DNS propagation takes 15 minutes to 48 hours — be patient.
💡 Pro Tip: Buy domain + hosting from the same provider (like Hostinger) to skip the DNS step entirely — they connect automatically.
2
WordPress Installation

Install WordPress on Your Hosting

WordPress is the world's most popular blogging platform. Most hosts let you install it in one click — no coding required.

  • Log in to your hosting control panel (cPanel or custom dashboard).
  • Look for "WordPress Installer" or "Softaculous Apps Installer".
  • Click Install, choose your domain, set your admin username and password.
  • WordPress will be installed in 1–2 minutes.
  • Access your admin panel at: yourdomain.com/wp-admin
💡 Important: Save your wp-admin login credentials somewhere safe — you'll need them every time you manage your blog.

Upload This Design

Add This HTML File to WordPress

This HTML file is a standalone page design. Here's the best way to use it inside WordPress without losing the styles:

  • Option A (Easiest) — Use as a Static Front Page: In WordPress, go to Appearance → Theme Editor and paste the HTML directly, OR use a plugin like "Insert Headers and Footers" to load custom code.
  • Option B — Use Elementor (Recommended): Install the free Elementor plugin. Create a new page → Edit with Elementor → Use the HTML widget to paste sections of this code.
  • Option C — Child Theme: Create a WordPress child theme, place this file as your homepage template (front-page.php), and upload via FTP (FileZilla) or Appearance → Theme File Editor.
  • After upload, in WordPress go to Settings → Reading → set "Your homepage displays" to a Static Page → choose your new page.
💡 Recommended for beginners: Install Elementor + use a free theme like Astra or Hello Elementor. Paste this HTML's sections into Elementor's HTML widget. It's the most flexible method.
4
Essential Plugins

Install These Must-Have WordPress Plugins

Plugins add features to WordPress. Here are the ones every blogger needs from day one:

  • Yoast SEO or Rank Math — Optimizes every post for Google search.
  • WP Rocket or LiteSpeed Cache — Makes your site load fast.
  • Wordfence Security — Protects against hackers.
  • UpdraftPlus — Automatically backs up your site.
  • Akismet — Blocks spam comments.
  • Mailchimp for WP or ConvertKit — Collects email subscribers.
💡 Tip: Don't install too many plugins at once — each one can slow your site. Stick to essentials and add more only when needed.
5
SSL & Settings

Set Up SSL, Permalinks & Basic Settings

Before publishing anything, configure these critical settings so your blog works properly and ranks in Google:

  • SSL Certificate: In your hosting panel, enable the free SSL (Let's Encrypt). This turns your URL from http:// to https:// — required for security and SEO.
  • Permalinks: In WordPress go to Settings → Permalinks → select "Post name" (e.g. yourdomain.com/your-post-title). Click Save.
  • Site Title & Tagline: Settings → General → update your site title and tagline to match your brand.
  • Delete default content: Remove the "Hello World!" sample post and "Sample Page" that WordPress creates by default.
  • Set Timezone: Settings → General → set your correct timezone for accurate post scheduling.
💡 Important: Always use https:// (not http://) in your WordPress Address and Site Address fields under Settings → General.

Writing Blog Posts

How to Write & Publish Blog Posts in WordPress

Now the fun part! WordPress has two editors — the classic editor and the newer Gutenberg block editor. Here's how to use Gutenberg (the default):

  • Go to Posts → Add New in your WordPress dashboard.
  • Add your post title at the top in the large title field.
  • Click the + button to add content blocks — Paragraph for text, Heading for subheadings, Image to add photos, List for bullet points.
  • On the right sidebar, set your Category (e.g. "Blogging", "SEO") and add Tags related to the post topic.
  • Set a Featured Image (right sidebar → Featured Image → upload a relevant photo). Recommended size: 1200×630px.
  • Fill in the SEO section (Yoast SEO panel at the bottom): write an SEO title and meta description that includes your target keyword.
  • Preview your post before publishing. When ready, click the blue Publish button in the top right corner.
💡 Tip: Before writing, research keywords using free tools like Google Keyword Planner or Ubersuggest. Write for a keyword people are actually searching for — this is how you get organic traffic from Google.
7
Growth

Set Up Google Analytics & Search Console

You can't grow what you don't measure. Set these up for free to track visitors and see how Google sees your blog:

  • Google Analytics: Create an account at analytics.google.com → add your website → copy the tracking code → paste it into your WordPress theme header (use the "Insert Headers and Footers" plugin).
  • Google Search Console: Go to search.google.com/search-console → add your domain → verify ownership (your host may have a one-click option) → submit your sitemap (yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml — created automatically by Yoast/Rank Math).
  • Check these tools weekly to see which posts get traffic and which keywords you rank for.
💡 Milestone Goal: Publish your first 10 posts before worrying about traffic. Consistency and content quality matter more than anything else in the first 3 months.
✍️ Writing Tips
How to Write Great Blog Posts
🎯

Start with a Keyword

Every post should target a specific keyword or question people type into Google. Use tools like Ubersuggest, Google's autocomplete, or AnswerThePublic to find ideas. Aim for low-competition keywords when you're starting out.

🏗️

Use a Clear Structure

Good blog posts have: an attention-grabbing intro (hook), clear subheadings (H2/H3 tags), short paragraphs (2–4 sentences max), bullet points for lists, and a conclusion with a call to action. Readers scan before they read — make it easy.

📏

Aim for 1,500+ Words

Longer, in-depth posts tend to rank better on Google. Aim for a minimum of 1,000 words, ideally 1,500–2,500 for competitive topics. Quality matters more than quantity — every sentence should add value to the reader.

🖼️

Add Visuals

Include at least one image, screenshot, or graphic in every post. Use free image sources like Unsplash or Pexels. Add alt text to all images (this helps SEO and accessibility). Screenshots are especially valuable in how-to posts.

🔗

Link Internally & Externally

Link to your own other posts (internal links) to help readers discover more content and help Google understand your site structure. Also link to credible external sources. Aim for 2–5 internal links per post once you have more content.

📅

Post Consistently

One post per week is a solid beginner goal. Consistency beats frequency — a reliable 1x/week schedule is better than posting 5 times one week and nothing for a month. Set a publishing day and stick to it.
