Guide to Buy a Web Hosting with a Free Domain Name:

To begin the process, first go to www.bluehost.com and click on get started now.

When you click on get started now, you will see three different packages to choose. You can select a suitable plan according to your need.

If you are going to run a single domain/site go for Basic Plan, if you want to run more than one site then select Plus Plan, and if you need SSL & Dedicated I.P. address then choose Prime Plan. Unless you have a requirement of SSL & Dedicated I.P. don’t go for Prime Plan. I recommend you to buy buy the Plus Plan, even if you are going to host single site because with Plus Plan you can host unlimited website whenever you need in future.

Now click on “Select” of Plan you are going to select.

Note:- Please have a attention the above given link is a Promotional Link, it have Big Discount on all plans and this discount is only available for the new user and first bill, so I suggest you to buy a plan of 2-3 years instead of one year to save more money.

1. Select a new Domain or Use your existing Domain Name:

After selection of plan, you have to either choose a New Free Domain Name or enter your Existing Domain Name.

If you have Selected Plus Plan or Prime Plan, I suggest you to select a new domain name so that you can use it later in future if you don’t required now. You can also choose your free domain name at a later point if you not going to take now but at that time you have to contact Bluehost customer service team for the help.

If you are going to select an existing domain name then you have to change the nameservers of your domain registrar to:

NS1.Bluehost.com
NS2.Bluehost.com

If you don’t want to get involved into these, then simply go for New Domain and everything will be get activated with the web hosting itself.

Now click on “Next“, the remaining steps are very easy.

2. Enter Your Account Details:

Enter the required details, make sure you will provide your details properly especially your email because login and hosting information will be sent to the email you provide here.

3. Select The Right Package:

This part is very important and you should pay more attention over their to make sure that you are not overcharged for any add-ons that you don’t need. Choose your hosting package 2-3 years terms to save your money because you see as the tenure increases, price get decreases.

Be sure to deselect all the options Site Backup Pro & Sitelock Security you doesn’t need them.

4. Complete Your Hosting Purchase:

Before you make your payment, I recommend you to scroll up and verify all the information once again.

After making payment, you will see another sales page, ignore all this. Go to Complete at the end of the page.

Now you will see a confirmation of your hosting purchase and you will see a screen like the image given below.
