- SiteGround is one of the top 3 web hosts for WordPress. So how do you make a WordPress website with SiteGround: 70% discount davidutke.com/SG
In this short tutorial video I walk you through the process of setting up a WordPress website with SiteGround from step 1 to step done. We start off by getting a domain name at a domain name registrar. Then we get a shared hosting account at SiteGround and lastly we install WordPress, an SSL certificate, essential plugins and all the pro back end settings you need to know.
▬▬
Some quirks with Siteground
► SiteGround has a starter plugin installed by default which is helps you get setup. But using my tutorial videos you don't need it.
► The SSL certificate must be installed when you're in your dashboard. Then you must activate a forced redirection in your WordPress admin.
▬▬
RESOURCES
► SiteGround - One of only 3 web hosts recommended by WordPress and easily one of the fastest hosts around. Get a 70% discount davidutke.com/siteground
► Namecheap - My domain registrar of choice. Low prices, low renewal rates great service. I use Namecheap for all my domains: davidutke.com/namecheap

Thanks for watching everyone. SiteGround is an excellent host, but they do make the setup process a bit confusing for total newbies.
Also, I have a full website tutorial on Astra and SiteGround here: czcams.com/video/4NKBsx5Rwzg/video.html
I just got my refund from siteground! They dont support google sites. And ANYTHING you want to do takes you way down the rabbit hole. Wordpress free? If you want a lame, one trick pony.
It’s amazing how much some of our guides ramble and ramble on and ramble, but when it’s time to actually guide us through setting up our website, they run through it once, giggle and drive on! You would think that people would recognize that the companies are constantly tweaking their pages. Therefore, the exact same way that it was when they said it out on the video may have changed a bit!
So, to show just run through it one time, giggle and then tell me a whole bunch of stuff then I don’t need to know, It’s not nearly as effective as Shlomo in down when you were talking about clicking buttons, and where to find those buttons! Thank you
OMGGG! THANK U!! YOU JUST HELPED ME SET UP MY ENTIRE SITE!!!! I WAS TOTALLY CONFUSED! THIS WAS THE BEST STEP BY STEP! NOW ALL I NEED IS HELP ON CUSTOMIZING IT WITH MY PICTURES AND VIDEOS AND SUCH. THANK U!!!!

Thank you David for this video! Really appreciated.
Thanks man, really helped.
Very helpful video. Trying to figure this out by reading web forums was getting me nowhere. Thanks brah!
Your video is excellent. Thank you very, very much for sharing your knowledge with us.
Bravo! Thank you David!
Thank you for the help!
This was very helpful thank you very much David
Happy to help!
This was definitely the video I needed. Thanks!
You are welcome!
Thankyou a ton David. YOU are literally a HERO to me. Just one quick question, 11:50 I try to do HTTPS Enforcement but pop up and saying “install an SSL certificate first” I even look at your other video and installed really simple SSL, but still cannot do HTTPS Enforcement. What am I doing wrong?
Very helpful information! thanks for sharing.
Super helpful! Thank you!
Thank you so much, I would not have figured any of this out on my own.
This is awesome. Thank you!
Your the man thank you so much for a detailed video. Helped so much. New sub here.
Nice video! Thanks
Very helpful and in-depth thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
So helpful! Thank you
Superb! Thank you so much!
A BIG HELP ! THANK YOU
Fantastic! Helped me put my blog together!
Glad it helped!
David, really, really informative video, thank you. I had already registered with Namecheap and then chosen Siteground to host, but their action steps didn't mention activating the SSL certificate and their instructions for their "to-do" list harder to follow than watching your video. One comment: I had to stop your video and back up over and over again because you moved so fast through what to do and I couldn't follow what you had just done. But that was just a minor inconvenience; again, this video was just what I needed to get up and running building my website!
Happy to help and thanks for the feedback.
Thank you for the video
Thank you so much this was SO helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
this was great. thank you very much
Made it easier for me to create a website THANKS ALOT
Appreciate you. You did a good job.
I appreciate that
Very informative, I appreciate this. Quick question- what are the major differences of choosing Web Hosting or Wordpress hosting? What if someone already accidentally chose WP hosting instead can it be changed?
both are the same... coz there are some platforms which u like to have...and generally people choose wp instead of drupal, or else.... we can see the other options like "woo, W, drupal, Wp"... so, when u click directly on wp hosting, then u wont see other platform options there.
Thanks so much for your well explained video. Could you please answer a question for me? I have a blog on blogger which I only started because it was part of my online training for the last few months, but also have a website on WordPress and had somebody help me get my WordPress SEO, etc sorted but she has since stopped. I am a total newbie so don't know much about anything online (I know it sounds crazy in this day n age) I now want to move my blog from blogger to WordPress. I realize I would have to purchase a new domain with a similar name as my blog, as I cannot take my domain name with me. Apparently, it belongs to Google. Can I use my existing WordPress site for my second domain or how does it work? And which hosting company works well in Africa? I would so appreciate someone's help PLEASE.
Thank you so much David for this great lesson.
I noticed that "let's encrypt SSL" is only available for 3 months.
Please what happens to our site at the end of the 3 months?
It simply has to be renewed which SiteGround will do on your behalf.
A month of learning shoved into like 20mins
14:30
If your domain name is separate from the blog or website title, which would be the better option to include here?
At 7:32 where it says “choose application” if I want to sell later down the line should I click Wordpress + woo commerce
or just Wordpress and later install woocommerce when I’m ready to sell.
any chance you could do one on migrating a website from square space to wordpress.
Hey David, Lots and lots of Appreciation for you work. You videos are really informative. But I am A front end developer and wanna create my website hand coded. So What I am Trying to find is just a domain and web hosting service where I can import my files and it loads my website live (Fast).
Please help me out with your recommended services.
Hopefully a quick question. I made it to the part where you choose a theme and I am suffering from input overload. Do you have a suggestion/recommendation as to the best theme for someone who handcrafts, (physical and digital), and wants to sell the items? I don't want to go the etsy route for obvious reasons, (free shipping really isn't free when they tell you to roll shipping into your product price). However, there is also this annoying thing called sales tax I have to collect and keep track of. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated! TIA
Always sell with online platforms. Etsy FB, eBay, Amazon Etc. They have millions of customers and your website does not. Create an excellent website to help build your brand and link to products on sites people trust. Otherwise, you will have slow sales forever,
Hi David thank you so much for this. However the ssl certificate is not encrypting with the website. What can I do to troubeshoot that? Also when i go to wordpress admin login, it takes me back to siteground and not wordpress.
ty so much
Thank you!!
Than you very much
i got the grow big thing from siteground and when in the video there was the pointing the domain that i own to the site, it was not in my screen? can you help
Section 12:00 when I am trying to enable the https it is telling me I need to install an SSL certificate first?
Looking for this video. The thank you
Thank You
You're welcome
I need. Help on how to purchase my grow big plan on site ground. I don't seem to access is outside us.
What happens if I've hit a 404 page after the wordpress kit install... (10:40 timestamp)
Thanks
I cant get passed the enable https part it keeps telling me to install in install an ssl certificate first, I already followed all the steps to do that correctly, what gives?
Thank you so much! You’re a lifesaver!
Thank you
Super
Nice
good tutorial, i got a lot of value out of it.
Glad you liked it!
how do you import an existing WP site into SiteGround, I did the manual transfer, however not all of my content transferred. Do you have a video on this?
I would contact support, but I'll look into making a video on it. Thanks for the idea.
Hi David, thanks for sharing such a great video, what a pity you didn't cover verifying ownership! Otherwise, all was good and as expected. Merry Christmas
Tried to keep it short, I go into more detail in longer videos. Merry Christmas!
@@DavidUtke Thanks David, it is none the less appreciated.
Is this down with the paid version of Wordpress?
Any chance you could do a tutorial for configuring the free Cloudflare DNS settings in? The actual instruction given by the siteground dont really make any sense to me.
Sure, I'll take a look.
@@DavidUtke thank you Dave! 😀
@@DavidUtke please make a video on cloudflare DNS Setting For Siteground.
I've noticed that the free SSL certificate is free for only 3 months. What should we do after that? Thank you in advance for your answer.
SiteGround will renew the SSL on your behalf for you. Once it's setup you don't need to think about it again.
I sounds so scary though, coz im worried all my pages i made in the wordpress will also be deleted. Is it true? I don't want to redo the entire page again from the scratch.
Please enlighten me. Thanks
Ran into a problem. At 11:50 you turn on "Environment Optimization". That is an option that seems to be missing on my screen. I see "supercacher settings, frontend optimization, media optimization, speed test"....Hmm...
Ok, I think I figure it out. I had to go to "security", back on sightground. Then I had to click on "SSL Manager". Then I clicked "Enforce HTTPS"..... And I think that did it, because now I have the http and lock icon showing up on my sight.
@@noblephoenix6151 helpful cmnt thanks mate.
Thanks you my
there is no discount rate via your refer link
When I click on Let’s Encrypt it gives me an error message saying; Failed to install. No domains can be authorized
Hello, how did you fix this issue? The same thing is happening to me.
Dude!
Brother I have been watching your video for about six months now I have a website but my website is not getting visitors
How much content does it have and what keywords are you going after?
Don't you have to pay for all these plugins?
ATTENTION REQUIRED
We already have a record of a site with this domain name. Make sure it is not used by you as a parked or main domain for another site. If it was but you recently deleted it, please wait for one hour before trying to use it again. Otherwise, please use another domain name for your new site. (how do i get out of this)
It looks like Site ground is not available in Nigeria 😭
Read the full details about siteground: digital-tutorials.com/siteground
doesnt make sense , cant just buy a domain and inpuit to siteground, i'm being told i have to wait 3 dam months to transfer it , what a waste of time
Search for “how to transfer a domain” I have a video. Also, you don’t need to or should even want to transfer the domain to Siteground.
This couldn't be more complex if they tried to screw it up!
haha, that's why I made this video. Siteground is an excellent host, once everything is up and running you won't have to worry about these details.
@@DavidUtke well..thats good. Im gonna check it out a couple more times before jumping into it! 😀
Siteground is really bad and everyone is an affiliate of them. I signed up and they treat you like garbage once you sign up. Do not sign up for siteground, once you actually sign up they are awful. Everyone who promotes them just does it because siteground is the most expensive.
I like SiteGround from WooCommerce. Sorry you had a bad experience.
Don’t use site ground garbage be forewarned letting everyone know before y’all get scammed
Really? Can you explain more what you mesn
@@ariela_ I tried to cancel my subscription and I went to there website but there's no option to cancel you have to call them but not only that you have to get a code to talk to one of their representatives which I honestly I think they'll never give me. So now they take 21 dollars every year from my bank account because they don't have an option to cancel your subscription. Also you can't really upload your coded site they rely too much on WordPress which has a bunch of expensive plugins that your kinda forced to buy in order to have your website running.
Nice
Nice
