Having Difficulty – Confusion Building Website

    I am very confused now. At least I know what a domain is now, and it’s registered and I signed up for a year with a hosting service, http://www.dreamhost.com, which I learned that I needed that as well to set up a Website. I am creating a Website for a business I hope to start in a few months, but having difficulty, mainly logging into WordPress.com. I’m not sure what to ask because I don’t know what I don’t know.

    WP.com: Unknown
    Jetpack: Unknown
    Correct account: Unknown

    Hi there,

    This is a forum for websites that are being hosted through WordPress.com, so there’s not much we can do to help you here.

    If you purchased hosting with DreamHost, you will need to go through their process to host and install the open source WordPress.org software.

    Here’s a reference to installing WordPress through DreamHost: https://www.dreamhost.com/wordpress/setup-and-install-wp/

    Here’s a reference to the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

    If you have any further issues, please reach out to DreamHost and they should be able to set things up for you.

    I hope this helps!
