Good morning. This is John from Kits Media. This tutorial is ‘How to get started using WordPress.
When you receive a hosting plan from us it will have the latest version WordPress pre-installed and will display the latest WordPress bundled Theme.As of this video, that theme is Twenty Twenty and it looks like this.
