You can choose whatever you think you are going to need, but I would recommend that you start off with the 1st level. The one that says free and NOT free trial. You may not want to get anymore services. Right now you should be more concerned with getting something up and online as soon as you can. Then later when you are more comfortable with web design ( its not as hard as you may think) you can add more space and services.
Rather than allot of different services and tools that you may or may not need for at least a few weeks. Or may never need its up to you.
So assuming you clicked in the free sign-up now, or if you clicked any of the other boxes. You should now be seeing a screen with a little box with a .com at the end of it.
If you have been thinking of what your website is going to be called now is the time to see if it is available to you. So type in what you are going to call your site now. You may have to change the name many times before you get one that’s not taken. You can try one name 3 different times by changing the .com to .net or .org.
Ok. Next pages are for personal form stuffs same as always when signing up to anything. Fill it all out info and your credit card info (it’s just to weed out kids & people that would make hundreds of accounts) only one account pre credit card they will not charge you anything on it! You have now set-up a website.
Great now we are armed with our newly created domain (website) name, so on to the design & building of a website! Don’t worry its not as bad or hard as it may seem. If you have done everything right so far you will end up at what most web hosts call the dashboard.
All this is explained at your dashboard
Once you’re at this screen it will all be explained for you. They have a very good tutorials & manuals to help.
Thanks for using my tutorial. Hope to have more coming your way soon.
