SiteGround WordPress Website Setup Made Easy!

[@DavidUtke]

Checkout SiteGround here: websitecreativepro.com/sg 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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/an-uc6auareqsMk

[@wadeadams2775]

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

[@sharonceaser-wheeler3364]

Thank you so much David!!!! You have shed a lot of light on setting up my website! I truly appreciate you and your channel. I have subscribed to your channel with a thumbs up!!

[@WelcomeToTiffineys]

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!!!!

[@김학근-g3s]

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?

[@tvmountcharlotte]

Great video. This answered all of my questions about connecting my Siteground hosting account to my new domain and setting up a Wordpress site. Thanks for the extra info on themes, plugins and SSL certificates. This vid will def save me some time.

[@Idrissu]

Thank you David!!!.. This video helped me a lot, I'm currently working on my first official website for a client and this video gives me answers to some questions i had... Thank you once again.

[@karaleigh_eva]

14:30 If your domain name is separate from the blog or website title, which would be the better option to include here?

[@WaturiG]

Thank you so much David! Great value here, very informative - subscribed!

[@PatrickPierceBateman]

Very helpful video. Trying to figure this out by reading web forums was getting me nowhere. Thanks brah!

[@EddiePugs]

Thanks David - brilliantly done for this rookie!

[@catherineduncan6611]

Thank you so much, I would not have figured any of this out on my own.

[@ariela_]

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.

[@gcookz86]

[@aquestforrest6978]

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.

[@mmeritravels]

any chance you could do one on migrating a website from square space to wordpress.

[@WavyGirlMethod]

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?

[@nepalonlinekhabar6271]

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.

[@noblephoenix6151]

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...

[@noblephoenix6151]

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.

[@natifaantoine4803]

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.

[@islamakmiradov518]

Thanks man, really helped.

[@Filomena1]

What happens if I've hit a 404 page after the wordpress kit install... (10:40 timestamp)

[@sigurdpanke2612]

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!

[@DavidUtke]

Happy to help and thanks for the feedback.

[@melinamorina516]

Thank you for the help!

[@deinvestor1.1]

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?

[@DavidUtke]

It simply has to be renewed which SiteGround will do on your behalf.

[@shelbeyosborne1829]

Section 12:00 when I am trying to enable the https it is telling me I need to install an SSL certificate first?

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.

[@genevieveholden3294]

Superb! Thank you so much!

[@MsKing7169]

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

[@JoeIgnizio]

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,

[@amybeaumont7413]

[@liadecarvalho5270]

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.

[@DavidUtke]

SiteGround will renew the SSL on your behalf for you. Once it's setup you don't need to think about it again.

[@TheLastJinchuriki]

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.

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)

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.

[@DavidUtke]

I like SiteGround from WooCommerce. Sorry you had a bad experience.

[@printcruz]

Don’t use site ground garbage be forewarned letting everyone know before y’all get scammed

[@ariela_]

Really? Can you explain more what you mesn

[@printcruz]

@@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.
