Finding a Home for Your Blog

 

After you register your domain, you need to find a place for it to live — a Web host. Web hosting is the second piece of the puzzle that you need to complete before you begin working with WordPress.org.

A Web host is a business, a group, or an individual that provides Web server
space and bandwidth for file transfer to Web site owners who don’t have
it. Usually, Web hosting services charge a monthly or annual fee — unless
you’re fortunate enough to know someone who’s willing to give you server
space and bandwidth free. The cost varies from host to host, but you can
obtain quality Web hosting services for $3 to $10 per month to start.
