Not sure what to do? You are on the right page. You are going to need a URL (www.com) and a place to store your files (hosting). The information below will give you the three easy steps to getting your product hosted and installed. In addition, we have provided you with a few hosting recommendations that are powerful and affordable. Once you have hosting set up, our installer will do the rest. If you are still having issues, just give us a call. we would be happy to help.
Domain Name: Step 1
---
Your website address (AKA: domain, URL, .com) is the first item you will need. If you are going to get a new domain and hosting (see below).
If your domain name is currently registered but you need new hosting, you will need to first get hosting (see below), then change the DNS (looks like: ns1.hostcompany.com). Changing the name servers will link your domain to your new hosting. Contact your current registrar to do this.
Hosting: Step 2
---
If you need new hosting (server), we currently recommend 2 hosts. You can purchase URLs through all of these hosts. If you are moving from another host, you can ask the provider to migrate your files and set up your email to reduce down time. If you did not purchase your URL through your new host, you will now need to change your DNS. To do this, you will need to be able to access your domain wherever it is registered and use the name servers that came in your welcome email (ie: ns1.somethingr.com).
Install: Step 3
---
Click the “Buy” button on our website to goto the installer. Here you will pick the product that you would like to purchase and install it directly on your server. You will need the FTP information from your host provider (see above) and web panel information if you are installing a blog. Once you are done, please look for special discounts that we may offer on a second product. Once you are done install all of your products, check your email. You should have a few emails from us that will get you started. Have fun.
