Many web hosting companies offer:

Step 2) Choosing a Domain Name for Your Food Blog
After finding the right web hosting company for your food blog, you will need to come up with a name for your blog. Pick a name that is simple, easy for visitors to remember, and reflects the overall concept of your food blog.
Create a List of Possible Domain Names
I have found that choosing a domain name is no easy task and that you should take your time. I suggest creating a list of 5 to 10 possible names and running them by your friends or family to get their opinion.
Step 3) Installing WordPress for the First Time
The beautiful thing about using WordPress is that you do not have to have any experience building websites or working with a blogging platform. Absolutely anyone can setup WordPress and start customizing their blog.
A: Automated or Manual WordPress Installation
To make things even easier, many web hosting companies have included automated WordPress installation. Even if the web hosting company does not offer automated installation, uploading the core WordPress files and going through the setup process is fairly simple and straight forward.
B: Find Out if Automated WordPress Installation is Available
Visit the control panel of your web hosting company and check if they have automated installation.
Complete the WordPress Setup Process
Whether you upload the files yourself or you are lucky enough to have automated WordPress installation, follow the onscreen instructions during setup. You will end up entering the name of your food blog, a short description, and choose a password. Once installation is complete, you can sign into the WordPress dashboard and get to work on customizing your blog and making it your own.
Step 4) Picking a Stylish WordPress Theme and Customizing Your Blog
Now comes the fun part. With your installation completed, you are ready to choose a theme and alter the appearance of your food blog to make it original and appealing. Here are my top 5 secrets to creating a succesful food blog:
1: Look at Your Competition
I find that it helps to look at other food blogs before you get too far. See what they are doing and what sort of style they are attempting to achieve with their blog. I’m not saying that you should copy their look, but understanding your competition is part of any business plan.
2: Creating an Original Blog
You are going to want your food blog to be original and user-friendly. This means keeping your choice of colors to a minimum and possibly coming up with an original logo or header.
3: Choosing a Responsive WordPress Theme
The basis of your site is your theme. WordPress gives us two options, when it comes to themes. You can choose a free theme or a premium theme. There are thousands of each to choose from; though, premium themes offer more advantages and are a safer choice.
4: Get a Quality Premium WordPress Theme
Take your time looking at the various themes. I should also mention that the theme you choose should be responsive. This means that the theme will adjust the layout of your blog based on the size of the screen your visitor has. This ensures your site will look fabulous on any device, including smart phones.

Most themes will let you change colors, backgrounds, headers, and the overall layout. Create a stylish food blog by customizing your theme.
6: Altering the Look of Your Blog
There are a lot of different steps involved in creating an awesome looking blog. I have taken some of my best suggestions for customizing a blog and compiled them into Customizing Your WordPress Theme.
