So you can apply this into this lesson that you are start that we are starting now. So this is the website creation w with wordpress crash course. Let's start with that right now. In this video, we will sign for the hosting service for your website. And we are doing that using host Tiner. I recommend host Tiner to all my students because it's one of the best hosting services we have right now and is one of the most affordabl...
e one with an amazing quality, amazing service that they provide. So your website will be secure and it will be up and running 24 7 with host Tiner. So to sign for this, we can come here to Diego Davila dot com slash tools. This is the resources area of the course. And here you see website hosting and we have here host Tiner and the good thing. And what I love about them is that we have an agreement, a partnership with host Tiner and they are offering a reduced price for our students for all the students of this course. And this is only for our students and it's the highest discount that you will ever find in hosting. So that's why I'm excited about this opportunity and let me share with you how you can get access to that. So in this page, you can come and click on uh hosting or you you can click on see more and we are being forward to the hosting your website. This interface changes frequently. So if you see something different here, don't worry about it. All you have to do here is check the the information they have if you want. And if you are ready to move forward, we can click here on get started. So click on the button that is here to see all the plans. OK? I will click on select and we see the plans here. So the next step here, we are in step number two and this is really easy to do. You see that we need to select the period that we want for hosting. And we have the option here of one month, 12 month, 24 or 48 month. Usually the difference here is the highest plan, the lowest the price. But right now they are running a promotion and I'm not sure how long it is. Will this will last. So when maybe when you are watching this, you have a different option, but you can choose, I recommend you to choose at least the 12 month period because you are paying for one month, you will pay almost $12 and this amount change all the time. So depending on your country, depending of, of the time of the year, you will see different prices here. But the good thing is that by, by being a student of this course, you will get the lowest price ever here and I'll show you exactly how that works. Ok? So select at least the 12 month is worth it. You see that for the 12 month, you will get a free domain. The domain right now is around for around 10 to $15 per year, sometimes 18 or $ per year. And you are getting that for free with hosting. And also you get, you are paying only this amount per month if you select any of these higher plans here. Ok? So select the plan that is best for you remembering that you have 30 day money back guarantee. So you can try for 30 days and you can cancel at any time. They return all your money if you don't like the service or if something happens that you need to issue a refund. Excellent. We select here the, the plan. Next step is to create your account. So you enter your email address in this box or you can log in with any of these services like Google and Facebook. Next step is to select the payment method you see here they check, they, they take credit cards, paypal pay, Google pay, Alipay, or you can even pay with crypto. You can pay with Bitcoin or any other crypto that they take. I will select credit card to make things easier, but you can go with any of these services. And here you see the summary of what we have right now. We have the service plan for a year. We have the huge discount and we have the total we need to pay right now. In my case, this change for every country. But in my case here, I'm paying $32. for a year of dom of hosting plus a free domain on my account. And you see that we have the coupon apply, which is the Diego de Villa coupon. This is exclusively for students of this course and this will give you the highest discount you can ever get get in hosting. Remember just to make things clear, I may receive a commission from hosting if you end up using my coupon. But the important thing here is that you are getting the best deal and you are not paying more because you do that. You in the other way you are paying less. So let's continue here. We enter now, the name on the credit card, the credit card number, expire expiration date and CV C code. Of course, if you select another payment method, you can follow here the instructions. I will do this right now and click on submit secure payment. Excellent guys. The next step is to add your, to create your password set password here for your uh for your account. You see, I already typed my password. I repeat re enter the password here and I will click now in confirm to continue with the process here. We have a survey that you can start. If you want, you can answer a few questions to so they can help you to build this website. We don't need this, but let's click on start. Now, we select uh the website. I'm creating a website for myself for a company. You can skip this or select any of these uh doesn't matter. And here what we need to select the platform, you will skip, you see the option here, skip, I will start from scratch. So this is what we are doing. So we have more options and more control. So click here on skip, I will start from scratch here at the button. Here it is now we can claim your free domain. Remember we get a free domain with this plan or if you want, you can buy the new domain or use an existing domain. In this case, I'll click on claim the domain and here you will search for the domain name that you want. Maybe you already know which domain you want. But you can check here, you select the extension on this case dot com. You have lots and lots of options. I will go with dot com and this is the website we want to create here pro website academy. So I will search here to make sure exist. Let's see if it's available or not. Yes, the domain is available. I will then continue and now we are ready to finish the process. You see the server location is North America and your domain name. My domain name. In this case is this one, I can change the location if I want, you see all the the locations where they have servers. So you can choose the location that is closest to you. In this case, I'll use North America and I, I'm clicking now on finish, set up to continue and finish all this process. And the last step is to select and to confirm your registration information. This is for the domain every time you buy a new domain dot com or any extension. You need to confirm the owner's information here and this is a public record so you can come and uh like the the country where you are in this case, I'll go with us. It will be our personal or company domain. I'll go personal for this and you can enter here your name, last name, your email address, city your address, everything about this And when you already click on finish, registration excellent is being registered right now. You see that it's initializing, set up, your website is ready and we are now finally in the last step for your website, you see here, we can view the website or go to the control panel. We are going to the control panel because we didn't build the website yet. So manage website and here we have the control panel of host Tiner. We will explore this in details. This is super fun, super easy to use and we can control everything about your website and your hosting service on this panel. The next step is to confirm your email address. When you sign for hosting. In the last video, you will receive two emails. One is about the payment that they confirm confirming that they receive your payment. And the second one is the most important email where we need to take action. And this is an email where we need to verify your email address. So this is important because if you don't confirm your email address, your hosting account will be pending and you, you won't be able to move forward with the website creation process. So come to your email right now. Check for hosting here. And if you find the email called, verify email address, you just click on this button to verify the email. After you click on the button, you will be redirected to the control panel. This is the control panel of hosting or you see here we are in the address H panel dot hosting dot com. So any time you want to come here to the control panel to the administration of your website, you're hosting where you manage the domain, the email addresses, everything you need to come to H panel dot hosting dot com. You can put this on your favorites. So you have a quick access to all these tools. Once we are here here, we are coming here to host and you see at the top, we have the top menu where we can see hosting, we can create emails with your domain. For example, in my case, my domain is pro website academy dot com. I can create emails with this domain. So it's more professional, like for example, uh support at pro website academy dot com or Diego at pro website academy dot com. Any emails you can create and all this is 100% free for you on this plan. Also, you can come to domains to buy more domains to see the servers and al and also the billing, which is also important. So what we are doing right now is clicking on hosting here at the top and we see your domain here. On my case, we see my domain, I click on manage to manage this domain. And here is the most important thing. And don't worry if you see too many options here if it's a little bit overwhelmed because we have like lots and lots of options for administration. We won't be using all of these. We will just use a few to make sure you have a super professional website by the end of this course. So in here, you can see for example the details about your plan. Where is your server? What is the IP address your domain? Cool things about that. You see also all the statistics for your hosting. How much are you using of, of the space? How many e knows how many sub domains and all these cool information. OK? The next step is to install wordpress on your hosting server to make sure we have a website that is live on the internet. And to do that, we come here to hosting on the top menu. Again, we are on H panel dot hosting or dot com. We come to hosting at the top and we see the domain here. You select your domain, the domain that you want. Where you want to install wordpress, I will click on manage. And here we are again, we already we have been on this uh interface. In the last video, we have all the options to manage your domain, to manage your website, to install apps and all that, all that is related with this specific domain. On this case, with the domain we got is pro website academy dot com. On your case, you have your own domain here, we will scroll down on to the web to the sites or websites option. Here we have websites and here we have all the options for website and the one we are using right now is auto installer. If you want to import your website or migrate for another place, you can use these options here if you want to install a brand new website and you want to create, start from scratch, which is what we are doing here. We select the auto installer. So click on that. Excellent. Here we choose the platform we want to use. The the most popular is wordpress and this is the one we are using. Click on. Select. Excellent. And this is simple. All we need to do here is just to, to to uh provide some information about your website, about your business. And in a few seconds, you will have a website right there on the internet ready for you to see and to start optimizing. So let's do that. The first step is to add your website title. On this case, I'll add here pro website academy at your administrator, email your user name and you can add a password here. So let me add a password. Excellent. Don't worry about the advanced option. Just click on next for now. And here we have a confirmation before we install. So you see that they will install the version 593, which is the current version, the language you can change if you prefer to install in another language. If you said Diego, my website is not in English, it will be in French or in Portuguese or Spanish. You can change this to any language that you prefer. I will leave English for now. You see the requirement. Don't worry about this. And in here, I recommend you to go with the recommended option which is update only to minor versions. OK? Click on install. And now hosting is taking wordpress the application and is installing right there on your website. By the end of this process here, you will have a website live on the internet. Of course, it won't be optimized because we will do that in the next videos. But the website will be live right now. If you have any per problems during this process, let's say you have a problem, you get an error message or something like that. You can always use the help chat on the hosting your uh website, which is this guy here, you see here on the lower right hand side, you see this icon. If you click here, we are going to the knowledge base uh page. And in here you can basically select one of these issues. Let's go with domain. Let's say that we have a problem with this. And you, you have two options here. You can send them an email or you can chat right now. This is great. I love this one. I always use this one.

In this case, this is my domain. Describe your issue, send the message and the chat window will open right there and you will be chatting with a live human being uh that is ready is is ready to help you solve any problems you have in the process. Ok? Excellent. Let's go back now to where we were here. We are. So we just installed wordpress and now that we have the Wordpress installed, you don't need to come here to hosting anymore, right? We we we will come to hosting only if you want to renew your plan or stuff like that. This is already done. We don't worry about this anymore.

If you don't remember this anymore, you can just recover by using this, lost your password. But I do remember. So I will add uh my email here. Let me see and my password and hopefully this will work. Let's see. Ok? Wonderful is here. I will just jump this and go to the dashboard. Excellent. And here we are, this is the, the wordpress dashboard here on your website. You already have a website.

I have been using ChatGPT since early this year and love it, but there's always more to learn to pass along to clients. What a great, practical class with cookbook like instructions for getting set up and using it on various platforms. Funny enough, I was uploading art I created in AI and doctored up in photoshop while I was listening :) Well done!

Wow! This was an easier process than I thought, with the follow and do as you go along with the videos. I am finishing up my first journal to be published and 3 more in the works. Can’t wait to see how it goes with the sales! Thank you so so much for this complete and thorough course!
