How to transfer the DNS to your server, also called “Updating The DNS”, is something you’ll need to learn so you can repeat the process as your arsenal of domain names slowly grows. If you’re not familiar with the term DNS it simply stands for “Domain Name Server”.

I’m assuming you took my advice and grabbed your domain name from GoDaddy and a hosting account from HostGator.

What you need before installing a WordPress Blog is a domain name and a hosting service. Even though WordPress.org is a free platform and has the most freedom, support and the easiest user interface you must have your own hosting service which will cost at least $6 a month and a domain name that will cost $10 a year.

Another important step you must have completed is what the niche, theme, ideology or message will be behind the blog. If you want it to simply be fist-pounding rants and obscure raves then so be it. That’s the freedom you’ll have with a self-hosted WordPress blog.
