Not self hosted! If you're using a hosting company, its not self hosted. Also tick the paid promotion box, because that's what this is.

If you're choosing a hosting provider, it's not self hosted

It seems to me that WP Cupid Blog - WordPress Tutorials has missed the point of what a self hosted website actually is. My WP site is on a computer at my home address being run from my own electricity and monitored and maintained by myself and not by a company like bluehost. The titles should really be "How to run a WordPress site on a Bluehost server".

It would be cool if you showed how to do it with active directory on a domain controller. I have six very powerful machines and just need a step by step guide.

I can't believe this self-promotional advert is the top result when searching for "wordpress self hosting". This tutorial is entirely misleading and not what people are looking for when trying to find tutorials on self hosting using WordPress.

[sakodv]

this is not self hosting, i was thinking more like having just a domain name and using docker to deploy a wp container

This is not self-hosted... Self-hosting is the practice of running and maintaining a website or service using a private web server, instead of using a service outside of someone's own control.

You have no idea what self hosting is do you? Your own little definitions in the comments don't matter. The wikipedia definition of "Self-hosting" is: "The practice of running and maintaining a website or service using a private web server, instead of using a service outside of someone's own control"

Why do you say it's a self hosted web site when you are not hosting it, but it's being hosted by a third party hosting company? This is very misleading and false. Chane the title to how to create a third party hosted WordPress website.

This isn't self-hosted. Bad title.
