Hosting<\/h4>\r\nTo move your opte.io site to a self-hosted WordPress site, you\u2019ll first need a hosting plan with a provider such as DreamHost. Then install WordPress at your new host. Many providers have one-click WordPress installations.\r\n\r\nOut of all of the hosts in the world we\u2019ve chosen to recommend these as the ones we think are best. If you sign up with one of our recommended partners we have a commercial affiliate relationship with them.\r\n<h4 id=\"2-theme-set-up\" class=\"section-title\">2.
