Once you have a domain name you can then find a web host to host the domain name. I use HostGator for hosting my sites (GoDaddy domain name registration is cheaper than HostGator's). WordPress comes in two flavors. WordPress.com and WordPress.org. WordPress.com allows you to set up a free blog on their site. It’s like Blogger.com but WordPress.com does not allow you to monetize your blog. WordPress.org provides the WordPress software to be installed on your own web host (after you have your own domain ). If you use <a href="http://secure.hostgator.com/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=blulow" rel="nofollow">HostGator</a>, they make it very easy to install WordPress on your domain. So, to summarize, you get your domain name first, your web hosting account second then finally you install WordPress on your domain. Hi Jackie,

Do you get your domain names from wordpress or from hostgator? Also, do I need to get webhosting before I download wordpress.org or vice versa? I haven't been able to find info about these basic questions yet so I hope you don't mind me turning to you for help. Your site has been a huge source of information for my online writing ventures! Thank you! Hi Felicia,
