- If you are feeling lost with the alternatives, then accept the hosting advice of the WordPress community. You’ll find better offers than in any google search.
3. Themes: They change the appearance from a simple blog to an awesome business website.

4. Advanced: adapting the theme to your preferences without coding is possible.
5. Once it looks good is not over. You have to make it fast and friendly for google. The basic tools:
