Getting Started
Choose your Plan
Let's go ahead and assume that
your chosen domain-name is
available. The next step is to
choose your level of service. On
the next screen, you'll see a grid
showing the various levels of
service available to you. Plans
typically range from domain-name
parking only to accounts known as
Web Designer Account which
include the ability to create preview
websites you can then transfer to
other customers once they sign up
with us. We'll talk more about
Preview Accounts
a little later. Click on the name of the plan to see a brief description of what's
included in the plan. Select the plan that is right for you, keeping in mind that you can step up or
down later if you wish to do so. Once you've decided on the right plan for you, click the
Next
button to proceed to the next step in the signup process.
Enter Your Information
Before going any further, you need
to enter your contact and billing
information. The username you
enter on the next screen
cannot be
changed
, but everything else can.
This is the username and
password you'll use to access your
account administration, from editing
the website to adding and deleting
e-mail accounts. Keep it safe, as
anyone who has it has the same
access.There is also a space
where you can enter a signup code
that may be offered through a third
party on a promotional basis. If
you don't have a promotional code,
don't worry about entering anything
in this space.
Fill out the form, using at least six
characters for your password.
Make sure you enter something for
each item in
boldface
, because
those are required fields. The e-
mail address that you enter here
should be an address that you
check regularly, as we'll use this address to send you important information regarding your
account. Don't worry, though, about our selling or giving away your personal information to
anyone. We don't appreciate that, and we don't do it to our customers. Once you've filled out the
form, check it over once more and then click the
Submit
button to proceed.
The next screen redisplays the information you just entered, giving you another opportunity to
make sure it's correct. You'll also need to read and agree to our Terms of Service in order to
continue creating your account. If you agree to the Terms of Service, check the box stating that
you agree with them and click the
Next
button to proceed. If everything is in order, you'll be given
the opportunity to Login with the username and password you just provided. Doing so will take
you to our main
Account Administration
page which we'll describe in detail a little later.
Please note that it may take a couple of days for your domain name to propagate through the
databases of the world-wide system of name servers which tell everyone else how to find your
site. While you're waiting for that to occur, you're ready to login and begin creating your web
