Hi John! First off, thank you! Second, must you create a host (Bluehost in this case) before creating your WordPress website? I wanted to demo a website for a week to see if I could realistically keep up with the demands, but didn’t want to pay for the host during the trial if it isn’t necessary. I am worried that if i create the website before the host account I will not be able to link the two together. Is this true? Thanks!

Hey John! Thanks for this resource! I seem to be in a bit of a pickle and don’t know what to do. Here’s my situation:

1. I currently have a blog, hosted on Wix, with a domain purchased through Squarespace.
2. I followed your instructions/recommendations for setting up a SiteGround account, and I bought the Foodie Pro & Genesis Theme through StudioPress – so now I have both of those.
3. I don’t want to transfer my old blog. I want a completely new one – with a new domain name so I can start over and set it up with SiteGround hosting and use my beautiful new Food Pro/Genesis theme.
4. If I purchase my new domain name (WhoIs is cheapest), then what are my next steps? Change my primary domain (to new name) on SiteGround and then install WordPress on SiteGround? Since your videos are for setting up on BlueHost, I’m not sure how to navigate SiteGround to be able to set up my Foodie Pro/Genesis framework.

I hope this makes sense! I feel like I have everything but don’t know how to piece it together. Thank you for your help!
