Getting Started
How easy can it be? With SiteBuildingSystem, a revolutionary site building and editing tool, you
can easily construct, customize, and maintain any type of web site. But we don't stop there. We
also provide Tier-1-level hosting and a complete e-mail and Personal Information Manager
component. Following these steps, you will quickly be on your way to creating a professionally
designed web site.
From the site's home page, click on any of the
Create Now
links to get started building your
Online Identity.
Select Your Domain
The first step along the way is to
create your web address, also
known as your domain name or
URL. The domain name should be
one that is easy to remember and
one that people will easily identify,
as this is the way you will be found
on the World Wide Web.
In the text box at the bottom of the
page, type the domain name you
want to use. Be sure to select the
".com", ".net", ".org" or ".biz" portion
from the drop-down menu after the
domain name and don't include it
in the middle box. For example, if
your company name is Joe's
Garage, type "joesgarage
"
into the
box and then select .com from the pull-down menu. If you already have a domain registered with
another registrar, you may click the box below the input field in order to initiate a transfer of your
domain name to our system.
You can also choose the language in which you wish to operate by
selecting a choice from the drop-down menu below the domain-selection panel. Once you do
this, the rest of your signup process will take place in the language you select.
Click
Submit
to begin a search of currently registered domain names. If the name you chose is
already in use, an error appears. If you already own the name, remember to click the check box
below the text box. Otherwise, you will be given the opportunity to try other combinations or
variations on your first choice or other choices altogether. Simply type a new domain name in the
text box and click
Submit
again to begin a new search.

Please note that in order to transfer a domain, you may need to contact current
registrar to make sure there is no lock on the domain or to request an
authentication code to complete the transfer. Our transfer system is verified by
e-mail, so please make sure you have access to the e-mail account originally
used to register the domain and check it in case your current registrar wants you
to reply to a verification message. Domains fewer than 60 days old may
generally not be transferred, and domains with fewer than two weeks remaining
before expiration may be problematic to transfer in time, as well. A full year will
be added on to the end of your domain registration period so that you do not
lose any time for which you've already paid.
