Is It Possible to Create a Great Website Without Being a Programmer? What Do I Need to Do It?
When you start your website, there are exactly two mandatory elements without which your online presence would not be possible.
First Step: Hosting Plan
Hosting is your server space to which you upload all information and the website itself. It must be reliable and secure to withstand the load of user logins to the website.
If you do not have enough hosting space, you risk missing the opportunity to upload more files and not receiving all the letters in your e-mail.

Second Step: Domain Name
The domain name is your online address where you can be found quickly and easily. Your business needs to have a memorable name so that it is recognizable to consumers.
If you want to be a blogger, but are hesitant about which name to choose, we recommend that you use your name, as this way you increase the recognition of your brand.
How do I choose a domain name?
In our specialized domain name search engine you can enter different options until you find the right one for you, and then it is important to buy the domain so that it is officially yours. The minimum term for which you can take your name is 1 year.
When choosing a domain, think about the extension you want to add. The most popular is .com, but if you only want to develop your business in Bulgaria, you can choose .bg. The options you have are .com, .bg, .eu. .org and many more extensions that you can check out on our website.
Once you have purchased shared hosting and a domain name, you will be given access to the Control Panel - cPanel, which you can access via your website profile. From there you can manage your services and upload your new WordPress website.
When you access the clients' area, go to the "Quick left" menu and click on the inscription - Login in cPanel.
At the bottom of the page you will get to Softaculous Apps Installer and the WordPress logo is the right place to install the tool and have the theme of your choice in a few minutes.
