It's famous for the 5-minute install process that you can find on WordPress.org, and I use it for nearly everything. However, securing the right hosting package and setting up databases/gathering database information for the configuration file is usually what slows that down, if you haven't done that before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-resources-for-switching-to-a-self-hosted-wordpress-blog#post-1204352 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 11:17:26 +0000 immabeetoo 1204352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bueller....bueller..? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-resources-for-switching-to-a-self-hosted-wordpress-blog#post-1203585 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 23:09:38 +0000 immabeetoo 1203585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything that Google is pulling up is loaded with affiliate links and I am sure there are a ton of legitimate, unbiased tips and walkthroughs...
