Let’s say you’re starting out with your first blog. There actually is a lot for you to learn about how to run one. And one of the basics is web hosting and how to find a good web hosting provider. When it’s your first time, all the technology and jargon and buzzwords can start getting your head spinning. Even worse, most information technology (IT) experts can’t or won’t explain them to you in words you understand. Especially here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Sometimes I get the annoying feeling that it’s on purpose.
So that’s why we want to give you start this hosted wordpress website to provide you with all the answers you need. By the way, WordPress.com (the one you’re on now) is hosted by WordPress, but you can also get a WordPress.org one where you get all the fun of hosting it yourself.
Web hosting is actually not that difficult especially if you find a good web hosting company that has a lot of support articles and beginners’ guides. If you’re based in Malaysia, it might also make sense for you to find a Malaysian web hosting company to host your website.
In our series, it will be important for you to at least understand the web hosting basics such as what exactly is a web host and what they can do for you. Of course, by now I hope you know that a website needs a server (basically a computer) and has to have an online connection to the Internet.
Basically what you want is to have your web host give you an account on one of its servers and you can upload your website there. This usually entails associating your domain name with the files that are located on those servers. The first time you do it, it will take around 24-48 hours for your domain name to propagate all over the world.
