9. Luckily my domain is
available so now I will just
click on Continue.

10. Business Registration & Certified
Domain is optional. So I will just Scroll
Down & click on “Continue to Cart”

11. Its upto me whether I want

Now I will choose my payment
option from the left hand side
and than click on “Continue”

13. The next 4-5 steps are my banking
details. So can’t give those
screenshots :D
After the payment I will receive 2
mails from Godaddy.
So lets check the next slide.

14. This is the email confirmation of my
domain “treehouseresorts.in”. So now
its confirmed that I have bought the
domain.

15. Step 2:
Hosting this domain on my
Hostgator account.

16. Returned back to my Godaddy
account and clicked on “Manage
My Domains” under Domain tab.

17. Now I will click on the domain
which I have just purchased.

18. 1st we will click on “Manage” in
Nameservers option.

19. Choose custom.

20. Click on “Add
Nameservers”

21. Now I have to fill up your Hostgator name servers. If I can’t locate them than just search
the mail which hostgator dropped me at the time of purchasing the hosting plan.
They will be mentioned like this:
Nameserver 1: xxxx.hostgator.in (xxx.xx.xx.xx)
Nameserver 2: xxxx.hostgator.in (xxx.xx.xx.xx)
(X are replaces with some digits)
Now I will add the Nameserver 1 & 2 (till .in, not the numbers after that) in these 2 boxes
and click on OK

22. Now my Hostgator Nameservers are updated on my Godaddy
bought domain account. So I will just click on save.

23. Now we will move towards my
Hosting account (Hostgator) and
will install WordPress on my
domain.

24. Step 1:
Open your Control Panel URL. If
you can’t find it than check the
same email where you have your
Name server and Temporary FTP
Hostname.

25. This is the my Control Panel URL page. So I
will just login to enter.

26. This is my Hostgator Hosting
Panel Page or Dashboard.

27. Now scroll down and click on
“Softculous” under software
and services.

28. Here we will bring our mouse
cursor on Wordpress.

29. And just click on “Install”

30. Here just remove the text
“WP” from “In Directory”
and just Scroll Down.

31. Here in “Admin Account” section
we need to write the username &
password for our wordpress
website and now just scroll down
a bit more.

32. In the bottom, just click on
“Install” and just below that you
can mention a email id where
installation details will get mailed
to you {Do check your Spam box
for the mail]

33. So that’s its. WordPress default theme is
installed on treehouseresorts.in.

34.  There are a few extra steps if you are hosting a 2nd domain on
a single hosting.
 The hosting panel used in Hostgator is known as “Cpanel X”.
So if you are ever looking for a cheaper host [I won’t suggest
that] then do check that they have their cpanel as “Cpanel X”-
cpanel.net
 Apart from Godaddy, I can suggest Namecheap.com as a good
domain buying firm and never buy domain from small
companies.
 If you can then always go for business plan hosting of
Hostgator as it will improve your website speed and also try
to read about Cloudfare.

35. It took like 12 minutes to purchase a domain
from Godaddy India, host it on my Hostgator
account and than install a WordPress theme on
it. If I am ever stuck in this process, then I will
just call Hostgator.In (not .com) 24/7 helpline
No. Which is 1800-209-8833
