How to start blogging 

To start blogging you need only two things: domain and hosting. Let’s understand the both of them one by one.

Domain

Domain is a website name and you have to book it from a domain name providing platform such as namecheap. Every website has a different domain name. Two websites cannot have exactly the same name although they may have similar names. 

For example you cannot find another daddyblogs.in in the entire world because it is booked by us. However you may find daddybloggingtea.in/.com/.org etc. Here you can see the name is similar but not the same. 

Like this you need to search a name suitable to a business, shop or of your choice then buy it. Domain names are booked first then hostings are purchased without booking domain names you cannot purchase hosting.

Hosting

Hosting provides servers to the websites. Servers are required for websites to show them on the internet without server websites can’t be searched. Every website has some server spaces and these server spaces are provided by hosting companies which is called hosting.

Hope domain and hosting is clear now you can understand why domain and hosting are important to create a website.

After selecting a website name, purchasing a domain and hosting you need to design a website. WordPress is one of the best platforms which allows easy designing without coding. If you are not comfortable then you can hire a web designer or developer to get the work done for you. 

They will easily design your website but they will also ask to book a domain name on your own because you need to select the name of your choice and purchase hosting. GreenGeeks is one of the best hosting provider that has great live chat support 24×7.   

A web designer can design your website only after you have domain name and hosting services. You can send some samples of other websites and tell them to design the websites similar to your samples. Like this you can get a brand new website in 3 to 5 days.

After designing a website, create content on a regular basis and publish them on websites. Like this you can start blogging from scratch. 

When you approach web designers or developers they might give you some helpful offers after website creation.
