Bluehost signup, actually take less time than what I spend to wrote this post ^_^
Probably this is another reason that encourage me to wrote all this down, and demonstrate to you, how easy it had been done. How long i take to signup, probably less than 5 minutes, and I got my login page right after that. Let me show you how:
1. Go to http://www.bluehost.com/
2. Click the “Sign Up Now…” button. You will asked for getting a new domain or transfer existing domain to this plan. Hey, new domain name is free after all, why don’t we just take it here. Type in your new domain name, check the domain privacy for free, and click enter.
3. Next you going to fill up payment information. You can pay by credit card or paypal. Complete all information, and you are done.
4. Congratulation! You just completed the signup process. Wait for the confirmation email from bluehost, login information are inside the email.
After almost a week search around internet to search for a good quality hosting provider, my search ends with signup to Bluehost shared hosting plan. If you would asking me why signup bluehost, my answer would be simply that this host is:
- Good features and reasonable priced.

Right after successfully getting the login information to bluehost cpanel control panel, I easily setup new FTP login account, follow by a new MySQL database, and uploaded wordpress 2.1 scripts to public_html/ folders.
Ftp connection is no issue, thanks to the clear insruction from signup email, and help links provided in printscreen method. Simply follow the screen, and ftp is done. Upload speed is acceptable, where i uploaded more than 3MB of all files to server, probably took me less than couple minutes to complete all those hundreds of files.
WordPress script had been successfully installed. And I look for a good wordpress theme to use. Here I finally found few that suite my needs: http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/
