 How to Set-up Hosting Account

Please read the following information below as we describe the process of setting up your host plan. If you wish for additional details or to educate yourself more on the terminology, feel free to view our FAQ & Glossary sections of our website for further answers or contact our sales department directly by clicking here.


Choose Your Server preference & Hosting Plan!  If you are not sure which Server to pick, may we recommend the Linux Server, for it is the most versatile and offers a larger quantity of free software & scripts for you to use. "More bang for the buck"  We run our entire website on Linux Servers.

If you are not sure which Package Plan to pick, may we recommend our starter plan for personal & new businesses (small to med), unless you plan on having a large website with a large quantity of pictures/images or plan on a vast amount of visitors viewing, downloading and/or streaming audio/video files... for you may need more bandwidth and might be better off choosing/upgrading to one of our other Plans. You may upgrade as you grow! MORE TIPS
 

Sign-up with us! Fill in the required* information on our Sign-up Form to activate a New Account.
 
Choose your payment preference! Once your payment is verified/collected, we begin the process of setting up your Hosting Package.
 
Within 24 hours you will receive an email from us, stating that your account has been set-up and issuing you an IP number/address as well as your Control Panel user name & password with information on how to access and use your Control Panel.
 

Redirect/Point your Domain Name to our Servers! email a DNS change request to your appropriate Registrar (the company that you initially registered your domain name through) and ask them to redirect your DNS. Use the Name Servers that is in our Welcome letter when redirecting/pointing your domain name to our Servers.

If you already have your Domain Name registered, but wish to transfer it to Webspun Domains to receive our special prices and customer support, then simply email a Domain Name transfer request to your appropriate Registrar (the company that you initially registered your domain name through). And we will handle the set-up and changes for you! There is No transfer fee! And we register all Domains under your name!

If you don't have your Domain Name registered yet (.com/.net/.org/.etc), We advise you do this soon! Domain Names go quick. You are welcome to purchase them through us if you wish, we can register them for you (in your name) for only $19.95 a year, with full customer support! You can get more information by clicking here Webspun Domains.
 

Upload your website content to our Servers, with your IP number. You use the IP number just like a domain name. For example, if we give you an IP number of 208.56.200.27, you can put that number in a browser as http://208.56.200.27 to see what your pages will look like on our Server. You can also use the IP address to upload your files with FTP, or log into your Control Panel using the address included in your Welcome letter to access our web based File Manager.

If you wish or need help with uploading your website, we offer a service for doing so here Webspun Publishing.

If you don't have a website designed yet or wish for a modern re-design, please allow us to Reintroduce ourselves. We also have great specials on our design work as well, NO outrageous pricing here! We don't charge by Standard Industry Pricing, we only charge for the time it takes us to do what needs to be done! And we have been designing Attractive & Affordable websites for many years now. You can view more information here Webspun Designs.
 

Once you verify the request(s) from your Registrar, they will point your domain to our Name Servers. Then within 24/48 hours depending on your Registrar and the time for your Domain to propagate, the rest of the world will be able to access your new website on our Servers, by your Domain Name.
