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.
