SiteGround Tutorial Step 1: Purchase Services

In some self built website tutorials shared by my dad's notes on building a website, the recommended domain names and servers are purchased separately. However, after contacting too many new foreign trade websites, my dad suggested that friends who want to use SiteGround to build a foreign trade website buy both the direct server and domain names at SiteGround, which costs only a few dollars more, but you need to operate fewer steps to reduce the error rate.

1. Click the button below to open the official registration link of SiteGround (The internet speed of foreign websites may be slow. If you can't open them, hang up the proxy to visit them.)

This means that we can directly access the WordPress website built through our own domain name.

But the interface is very simple, so we need to design and decorate the website. You can refer to the tutorial operation of WordPress.

On SiteGround, we can do this. Please follow the steps below:

1. Enter the SiteGround background, click Websites, find your website, click SITE TOOLS, or directly click WORDPRESS ADMIN, as shown below:

Through these two methods, you can enter the background of WordPress.

Then what we need to do is to choose a suitable theme and design it according to our own needs.
