For this, all you are required to do is to simply buy a domain of your choice, buy hosting from a good and reliable company and then install WordPress. Once you have installed WordPress, you can begin customizing it according your choice by buying a good premium theme — premium themes are always better and more reliable than free ones – and then simply installing it and configuring the setting. And Voila! You have yourself a website ready for posting content on.
