That’s it! You will immediately see your website online in your browser. Within a couple of weeks of setting up hosting with Platypus Hosting you will be listed in Google.
In your hosting control panel you can setup email addresses and/or email forwarders. You can see Web Stats analysed – showing how many visitors and what pages they stopped on. Subdomains can be installed. Other domain names you own can be freely parked on this website and open it.
On your website, WordPress let’s you choose to make it a blog or a normal website. If you don’t want a blog, set one of your pages to be the home page. If you do want a blog then whatever you put into “Posts” shows as your home page.
