There are many web hosting companies that offer a wide<br />
variety of hosting plans. Just note that <strong>with</strong> hosting you<br />
get what you pay for. Be careful about choosing a cheap<br />
shared hosting plan, as many hosting companies<br />
overload their servers, which will impact the speed of<br />
your own site.<br />
It’s also essential that you work <strong>with</strong> one that is<br />
“<strong>WordPress</strong> friendly.” While this isn’t an official<br />
designation, of course, just something we’ve learned to<br />
look for over the years.<br />

Installing <strong>WordPress</strong><br />
The final step is to install <strong>WordPress</strong> on your server. Most<br />
hosting companies offer thorough instructions on<br />
installing <strong>WordPress</strong> or services to install <strong>WordPress</strong> for<br />
you.<br />
Using a quick-install service is a simple way to get your<br />
<strong>WordPress</strong> installation up and running, but the downside<br />
is that it does leave some security holes.<br />
For that reason, you may want to consider installing<br />
<strong>WordPress</strong> manually.<br />
