Setting up Your Hosting Account
Thank you for your hosting purchase. After you purchase a hosting plan, you need to log in to your Account Manager to finish setting up your account.
To Set up Your Hosting Account
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- In the My Products section, select Hosting Account List.
- Next to the hosting account you want to set up, click Setup Account .
- On the Account Setup page in the Hosting Control Center, select the domain name you want to use for this hosting account.
- Select which version of ASP.Net Runtime you would like to use.
- If you want Java Enabled for this account, select Setup.
NOTE: The Java option will only display if you have purchased a hosting account that includes this feature.
- Create a User ID and Password for this hosting account. This is the User ID and password that you will use to connect to your hosting account using an FTP client. This is also the User ID and Password that you will use to access your free Web Statistics page.
- Click Continue.
- Verify your account information. If everything looks OK, click Submit.
A Congratulations message displays letting you know that your hosting account should be ready to use in a few minutes. You will receive an email message once your hosting account is ready to use. This email message will include all of your basic account-management information.
Once you have activated your hosting account, you can upload files to your Web site. For more information about uploading files, see Uploading Files to Your Web Site.
NOTE: This process may take up to thirty minutes to complete.
