Wordpress Site Setup

What you need to do before we begin:

1. Save all content (pictures, text, etc.) from your current site, if you have one.
2. Establish a 5 or 10 dollar a month Linux hosting account with 1and1.com or similar (we strongly recommend 1and1, because it is cheap, reliable and one the world’s largest– not likely to go out of business).
3. Point your current domain name [yourbusinessnamehere.com] to the new hosting account– this will require: a) the domain name’s owner’s presence (you, presumably) and b) access to your current hosting account, and c) access to your new hosting account. In other words, you will need a computer and quite possibly a phone if you need to call your accounts for assistance.
4. –OR– establish a new domain name, which comes free with your new hosting account.
5. Establish a Gmail.com email account to which we can have initial and temporary access. Later you can change your password.
