Hosting for Beginners — Your First Site in 10 Minutes

The easiest path is the START hosting plan ($55.92/year) with a 1-click WordPress installation via Softaculous. After payment you receive an email with cPanel credentials, log in and in Softaculous click "Install" next to the WordPress logo. In 60 seconds you have a working WordPress site with LiteSpeed Cache pre-installed and an optimized configuration. Then pick a theme (Astra or Kadence — free, great for beginners) and start adding content through Pages and Posts.

The technical setup of the hosting account is instant — after payment your account is activated within 1-2 hours and you get an email with credentials. WordPress itself installs in 60 seconds via Softaculous. A realistic time for a fully working site: 10-15 minutes for WordPress install + basic theme + first few pages. A .com domain is registered and active immediately, so you can start building right away.

The BeoHosting START plan costs $55.92 per year (about $4.66/month) and includes everything a new user needs: 12 GB NVMe SSD storage, 2 websites, 60 email accounts, free SSL certificate, cPanel control panel, daily backups and 24/7 English support. If you also want a .com domain with hosting, the total is $72.22/year ($55.92 + $16.30 for the domain). A .net or .org domain costs about the same.

Yes — BeoHosting offers 24/7 technical support in English through three channels: phone (+381 60 3535 720, Monday-Friday 08-16h for urgent issues outside business hours), email (podrska@beohosting.com with an average response time of <30 min) and a ticket system at panel.beohosting.com (24/7 for all issues). Our team with over 10 years of experience helps with WordPress installation, theme setup, plugin installation, domain connection, creating email addresses and resolving all technical problems. You don't need to know any programming.

WordPress is a free, open-source CMS that powers over 43% of all websites on the Internet. Main advantages for beginners: no monthly subscription (just hosting + domain), 60,000+ free plugins for everything (forms, galleries, e-commerce, SEO), 11,000+ free themes, a huge community (Facebook groups, YouTube tutorials). Wix and Squarespace have monthly subscriptions of $33-$54 and don't let you move the site elsewhere. A WordPress site is yours forever — you can move it, sell it, modify it as you wish.

Yes — BeoHosting offers free migration from all popular platforms. From Blogger and WordPress.com we use native import tools (XML post export). From Wix and Squarespace the content has to be moved manually (those platforms don't allow standard exports), but our team does that work for free — copies all posts, images, contact forms and SEO settings to the new WordPress site. Takes 1-3 business days depending on site size. After migration you have full control over the content and the site becomes yours.

cPanel is a visual control panel through which you manage every aspect of the hosting account — files, databases, email accounts, domains, backups, SSL certificates, statistics. Unlike a command-line interface which requires technical knowledge, cPanel has icons and clear menus: click "File Manager" for files, "Email Accounts" to create email addresses, "Softaculous" for one-click application installs. cPanel is the worldwide industry standard, which means tutorials and how-tos are easy to find on YouTube and Google.

Yes — a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate is included with all hosting plans and auto-renews. SSL is mandatory because Google Chrome marks non-HTTPS sites as "Not secure", which scares visitors and hurts SEO. AutoSSL automatically installs SSL for your domain and all subdomains within minutes of domain activation. For advanced needs (e-commerce, banks, financial services) commercial SSL certificates are available (RapidSSL, GeoTrust, Wildcard) with warranty and trust seal.

The START plan includes up to 60 email accounts on your domain (e.g. info@yourcompany.com, contact@yourcompany.com, name@yourcompany.com). Creating them is simple: in cPanel click "Email Accounts" → "Create" → enter name, password and quota (default 250 MB). The email works immediately. Access via webmail (yourdomain.com/webmail), Outlook, the Gmail app, or a mobile phone (IMAP/SMTP). Every email has SpamAssassin spam protection and ClamAV antivirus scanning before delivery.

Yes — a 15-day money-back guarantee applies to all new shared, WordPress and business hosting plans. If for any reason you're not satisfied — whether you realized WordPress isn't for you, you want a different platform, or our service doesn't meet expectations — contact support and you'll get the full payment back. No questions, no paperwork. The guarantee doesn't cover the domain price (registries don't allow refunds after registration), but it covers all hosting costs.

The BeoHosting Knowledge Base contains 139+ written tutorials in English for common tasks — installing WordPress, creating email, setting up SSL, migrating a site, configuring DNS records. For video content follow our YouTube channel @beohosting with video tutorials. In addition, our Blog has 220+ articles about WordPress, SEO, security and marketing, updated 4-8 times per month.

Upgrades are free and without site downtime. When your site outgrows the START plan (e.g. over 8 GB of disk, more than 5,000 visits per day, or more than 2 websites), contact support and we'll move you to STANDARD ($89.63/year) or ULTIMATE ($157.87/year) shared, or to specialized WordPress, Business or VPS hosting. You pay the price difference proportionally to the remaining period. Domain, files, databases and email accounts remain unchanged.
