I used to work for a hosting provider, so there are a few things you would need if you go that route.
1. Shop around for the best deal, speak with someone not only in sales, but I would say any hosts dedicated tech support, because they will usually be able to explain what you are getting. So different hosting packages and so on, depending on your sites needs. WordPress also has a list of recommended hosts as well.
2. Using a Mac is fine, you can do basically do the same things on Windows and Linux, so there is no issues there.
3. FTP clients are good, it allows you to upload more than 1 file at a time, they can get complicated, I would recommend FileZilla, from personal use, and its free.
4. Some hosts do “One-Click Installs” of WordPress, specifically I know BlueHost, JustHost, and HostMonster do. So that will save more time.

So in the end it just depends on how deep you plan to get with it. Hope I helped!

What PHP version are you using? Try disabling plugins if you can, if all else fails try re-installing. Also does the server you are using meet the specifications for the most recent version of WordPress?

In short, you need to copy the site files over to your new folder, and update your home and site URLs in your database. Obviously make sure you own your domain name and that its hosted at your host provider as well.

From my understanding, you should be able to do that, you could create sub menu categories under the blog sections of your website for the different subjects. If you cannot off the bat, I am sure there is a plugin or theme that might do it.

Hello,
Where do they want you to put it? I would assume your index.php file. But I haven’t used adsense on WordPress myself.

To the best of my knowledge, there isn’t a real benefit between different hosts cpanels with wordpress. Some have features you would like, others not so much. Everyone has an opinion on who their preferred host is, so its a matter of research you would need to do on your part. Shop around, and so on.

You may need to manually update your password in the database, or try updating it, if you have not already.

It also looks like you are installing it into a sub folder called “website”. Make sure the path is correct, its possible the streams might be crossing somewhere. Most of these errors that cause a white screen can be seen in a file in your website folders called “error_log” and that will tell you exactly what the problem is. If you continue to have issues, I recommend contacting your host.
