Let’s get going then.

How to Use SeekaHost.app to Create a WordPress blog

How to use SeekaHost.app to create a WordPress blog?

If you’re asking this question, you’re clearly very new to websites. So, I’ll take the most basic and simplest possible approach throughout this guide.

In order to create any WordPress blog, the two basic requirements are ;

  • A domain: The “link” to your website. E.g. www.microsoft.com (for Microsoft). Going for .com domains is the best. However, SeekaHost.app also allows registering many other extensions. And you can use the domain checker tool to find a good domain name.
  • And a hosting: The space on the internet where you will store your website so others can access it.

SeekaHost.app provides both of these.

On top of that, you also need the WordPress CMS. This is free by default and can be installed on any server.
However, SeekaHost.app makes it even simpler. It has this one-click installer that will let you install WordPress in seconds.

Here are the steps to create a WordPress blog using SeekaHost.app:

  1. Register at SeekaHost.app
  2. Buy a domain
  3. Buy a WordPress hosting server (7-day free trial).
  4. Install WordPress
  5. Change your nameservers
  6. Enable SSL
  7. Login to your WordPress website.

All of this shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes at best. Let’s get started then.

Register at SeekaHost.app

You simply go to their registration page, and sign up.

All you need is an e-mail ID and a password.

Once you’ve signed up, verify your account by clicking on the verification link you get in the e-mail.

The reason I’m not attaching screenshots is I’m confident you know how to do this. You’ve been verifying accounts since the day you started on the internet, haven’t you?

Buy a domain

The domain is one of the most important parts of your WordPress blog, Here’s why:

  • It’s your “brand name”.
  • This is how people find you.
  • More importantly, the keywords in your domain also affect your site’s SEO.

So, make sure the domain you purchase reflects your brand as precisely as possible. E.g. “bamboopickleaustralia.com is great for someone selling Bamboo pickle in Australia.

Obviously, you can go the other way round by making it something completely unrelated. E.g. “Apple.com” for a company selling technology! It just may not always work, especially in terms of SEO.

Anyway, let’s register your domain?

Step #1>

SeekaHost has a panel on the left-sidebar. This can be used to access all its services. You should see “Domains” . When you click on “Domains”, a few new options will popup, simply select “register domain”.

Register at SeekaHost.app

Step #2>

Search for the domain you wish to purchase using the search-bar. If it’s available, you can add it to cart.

You’re almost done. Your website is functional now. However, let’s get through one more technicality before you can start using it.

Enable SSL to improve security and rankings [free]

SSL certificates are advanced security certificates that you need to install on your server. Sounds complicated, right?

In reality, thanks to SeekaHost’s extremely easy interface, you only need a single click to enable SSL certificates.

A lot happens in the background, sure. However, on your part, the click is all you need.

Final step! Log into your WordPress blog

So, you’ve taken care of all the technicalities. Your hardwork pays now!

In order to login to your WordPress blog, you’ll need to core elements:

  • The WordPress site’s login URL.
  • Your username & password.

Your website’s login URL can be found on the same page where you found your nameservers. (Websites & Blogs > WordPress Sites > gear icon). Just under the nameservers, you’ll see a “site login” link. Clicking this takes you to your site’s login page.

As for the username and password, these can be found in your e-mail. SeekaHost sends you an e-mail as soon as your blog was installed. That e-mail contains your username and password.

Just go to the “site login” link, and paste your username and password. You should be in your WordPress blog!
