It is important to choose extremely difficult or random passwords for the administrators and for the database. This guards against random brute-force attacks.
Using tools such as [Jetpack](https://jetpack.com/) and an [SSL certificate](https://www.verisign.com/en_US/website-presence/website-optimization/ssl-certificates/index.xhtml) increases your protection against unwanted attacks.
## Get Started With Wordpress
This guide will cover how to setup a basic Wordpress website. If anything is
missing I will go back and add more content.
### Domain
So, you need a domain because you want people to be able to browse your website! Get it from one of the providers, just make sure they
are reputable enough.
### Hosting
You will also need a place to make sure your website is alive and comfy.
I suggest you not to pick the same company as your domain and hosting
provider.
### Wordpress
You will need Wordpress software to "power" your website. You can get it from: https://http://wordpress.org/download/
### DNS
So, now it is time to link your domain and server. You should be able to browse
the FAQ of the domain provider or ask them to do it for you.
Your hosting provider will give you a nameserver and you can use that DNS
server address for your domain. Go to DNS Zone editor and make sure you
follow the exact steps your domain provider requries.
## Installing Wordpress
If you have cPanel, go on to Softaculous and select Wordpress. It will automatically install Wordpress for your domain name.
