WebHosting:

website, you’re going to need two things:
•Domain Name

web. Something like YOURSTORE.com
Web Hosting is basically a remote computer that
stores your website and then serves it to whoever
wants to visit it. (You can find best WordPress hosting

providers, we usually get both from Bluehost.com.

hosting providers by WordPress.org. Cost? Starting
from $2.75/mo.
