Choose a domain, select a web host, and install WordPress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step to <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-website\/\">starting a website of any kind<\/a> is always the same. You&rsquo;ll need both a domain name and a web host to power your site. Here&rsquo;s what you need to keep in mind when choosing them&hellip;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-domain-name-101\">Domain name 101<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Your domain name is the name of your website address. It&rsquo;s the part that comes before the TLD, the TLD being <code>.com<\/code>, <code>.net<\/code>, <code>.org<\/code>, or any of the other 1,600+ options available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Needless to say, <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/how-to-choose-a-domain-name\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">choosing the right domain name<\/a> is very important since it&rsquo;s going to represent your news organization&rsquo;s online presence. So take your time and weigh your options. If you get stuck, a <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/blog-name-generators\/\">domain name generator<\/a> can help you brainstorm ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/where-to-buy-domains\/\">where to buy your domain<\/a>, well, you have options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many hosting companies moonlight as domain registrars and vice versa so you can often take care of both in one place. On top of that, it&rsquo;s popular nowadays for hosting packages to include a free domain name in the first year. So depending on who you end up hosting with, you may not even need to worry about paying for your domain in your initial contract period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having said that, the <strong>best long-term deal on domains is through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudflare.com\/products\/registrar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cloudflare Registrar<\/a><\/strong> because they sell domains at cost (i.e., no markup).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to take advantage of any free domain deals but also desire the long-term pricing benefits offered by Cloudflare, then you&rsquo;d need to transfer your domain by <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.cloudflare.com\/registrar\/get-started\/transfer-domain-to-cloudflare\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">following some minor technical steps<\/a> before it comes up for renewal. Afterwards, you&rsquo;d also have to connect your domain to your hosting account (since each one would be with a separate company). In my opinion, the savings are worth the hassle though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-web-hosting-101\"><strong>Web hosting<\/strong> 101<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all web hosts are made equal. You should choose one that offers great performance and features to make your life easier. These include automated backups, top-notch security, SSL certificates, and more. In any case, <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/types-of-wordpress-hosting-plans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shared hosting<\/a> or a basic <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/vps-vs-shared-hosting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Virtual Private Server (VPS)<\/a> should be more than enough to start you off. We have a whole lineup of <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/best-wordpress-hosting\/\">thoroughly vetted WordPress hosts<\/a> to point you in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&rsquo;t wish to do extensive research and simply want a recommendation, then both <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/go\/bluehost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bluehost<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/go\/namecheap-wordpress-hosting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Namecheap<\/a> are good hosting options. You&rsquo;ll save more money over the long term with Namecheap than Bluehost, but you can&rsquo;t go wrong with either one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have both your domain and hosting secured, you&rsquo;ll need to install WordPress so that it can power your news site. Though in the modern era, the installation is primarily handled by your hosting company. Many hosts even pre-install WordPress for you or let you trigger the process with a single click. In short, there&rsquo;s nothing technical you have to worry about. Just sign up and move on to step two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"su-button-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/go\/bluehost\/\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-3d\" style=\"color:#FFF;background-color:#EC6551;border-color:#bd5141;border-radius:12px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"color:#FFF;padding:0px 30px;font-size:22px;line-height:44px;border-color:#f29486;border-radius:12px;text-shadow:none\"> Start A News Website With Bluehost<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"su-button-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/go\/namecheap-wordpress-hosting\/\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-3d\" style=\"color:#FFF;background-color:#EC6551;border-color:#bd5141;border-radius:12px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"color:#FFF;padding:0px 30px;font-size:22px;line-height:44px;border-color:#f29486;border-radius:12px;text-shadow:none\"> Start A News Website With Namecheap<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-find-a-suitable-wordpress-news-theme\">Step #2: Find a suitable WordPress news theme<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After you install WordPress, you can use a &ldquo;theme&rdquo; to control how your news website looks. Here&rsquo;s how to do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-look-through-available-news-themes\">Look through available news themes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/themes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official WordPress.org theme directory<\/a>&nbsp;is a great place to browse free options.

Once you click on the one you want, simply follow the rest of the setup process, which entails choosing your color scheme (you can always change it later), and adding optional features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though not required, ticking the <strong>Image Optimization<\/strong> and <strong>Caching<\/strong> boxes is a good idea. This holds true for most sites, but particularly for news sites because they tend to feature a lot of images:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full blog-img-std\"><img
