into your hostinger account you should
[69]
see something like this so let's start
[71]
by setting up our hosting let's click
[74]
setup let's click start now
[77]
and as you remember we got a free domain
[79]
name so right here we can claim our free
[81]
domain name let's click select right
[84]
here enter your desired domain name and
[86]
click search i highly recommend you to
[88]
choose.com because it's the most popular
[91]
one and the most recognizable for this
[93]
tutorial i'm going to use online but
[96]
like i said i highly recommend you to
[98]
choose.com just enter the domain name
[100]
click search and let's click continue
[104]
let's select build a new website and
[107]
let's choose wordpress and right here
[109]
you will have to enter your email
[110]
address and set a password you will use
[113]
those credentials to log into your
[115]
wordpress dashboard so that's exactly
[117]
what i'm gonna do once you have finished
[118]
doing this let's click continue and as
[121]
you can see right here we have a list of
[123]
various templates which we can use for
[125]
our wordpress website let's click show
[127]
more and let's choose a template which
[129]
we would like to use for our wordpress
[131]
website let's scroll down let's click
[134]
show more i guess i'm gonna use this
[136]
template so let's click select and if
[138]
you want you can also preview this
[140]
template to check how it's going to look
[142]
but in this case i'm just going to
[143]
select this template let's click select
[145]
and let's click finish setup it might
[147]
take a couple of minutes until the setup
[149]
is complete all right perfect our
[151]
website is ready but before we go and
[154]
visit our website let's install ssl
[157]
certificate so let's click manage site
[159]
as you can see right here we got this
[161]
message that our domain name is not
[163]
registered yet so before we can install
[166]
ssl certificate we have to finish the
[168]
main registration so let's click finish
[170]
domain registration and right here
[172]
you'll have to enter your details like
[174]
first name last name address city and so
[176]
on so just enter all the needed
[178]
information and once you have finished
[180]
doing this just click setup alright from
[182]
here we can go back to our control panel
[185]
as you can see the status of our domain
[187]
name is active so let's go to hosting
[191]
let's click manage on our website and
[193]
now we can install sso certificate so
[196]
let's scroll down until you see ssl
[199]
right here let's select it and right
[201]
here you will be able to install your
[204]
ssl certificate so let's click setup and
[206]
let's click activate
[208]
and all we have to do is just click
[210]
install and as you can see the ssl
[212]
certificate was installed successfully
[215]
and if your ssl certificate fails to
[217]
install it usually happens because your
[219]
domain name registration hasn't finished
[221]
yet it usually takes about two hours so
[224]
wait a little bit of time let's say
[226]
about one or two hours and try
[228]
installing ssl certificate one more time
[230]
and you shouldn't face any issues
[232]
anymore alright so we successfully
[234]
installed our ssl certificate and from
[236]
here we can go ahead and visit our
[238]
website alright as you can see this is
[240]
how our website looks now and it looks
[242]
quite good but it has a lot of demo
[244]
content which might not be useful for
[247]
our website so we can change anything we
[249]
want so first of all we have to log into
[252]
