Register a Domain Name and Hosting Setup

The first step when thinking about building a new website for your business is to register a domain name and then setup hosting. You can choose to follow the steps below to help setup your account or we can do this for you. We do recommend you using HostMonster.com.

• First select your new domain name, if you already own your domain name use the "I Have a Domain Name" selection. Do not worry about transferring your domain as you do not have to do this.
• If you choose the 'I Need a Domain' selection you can select 'Add HostMonster Privacy Free' option. This will keep your personal information 'private' on the WhoIs Internet database.
• Complete your Account and Billing Information and choose your Package. We recommend choosing either the 24-month month or 36-month package.
• When you have filled out the form click 'Create Account'.
• After your account has been setup, you will receive an account setup email within an hour or two after signing up. For security, HostMonster will also call you to verify you setup the account.
