Okay, in this video, we’re going to run through signing up with Hostmonster.com, which is the hosting provider we recommend.  They’ve got unlimited hosting space, unlimited band width.  You can host as many domains as you want.  And it’s just $5.95 a month at the moment, so it’s extremely cheap.  Very good value.

And we’ve tested the hosting extensively over the last year.  And we’ve had I don’t think any down time at all.  And the service to the website’s pretty damn quick.

So just click on the front page where it says Sign Up Now.  And you’ll see two boxes come up.  One that says, I need a domain.  And the other one that says, I have a domain.

You should have a domain by this point.  Because you’ve gone to GoNetNames.com and got your domain.  So for this example, we’ll sign up with NetSalesDemo, which is going to be our demo store for NetSalesTrainer.

And we’ll click Next.  Then we just fill out the form.  Okay.  And then you’ll need to put in an account password.  Then you can choose how long you want to sign up for.  At the moment there’s no benefit to signing up for longer than 12 months, because it’s $5.95 per month anyway.  And then you just go down to the bottom here, billing information.  Choose to pay by paypal or credit card, tick the box that says, I confirm I’ve read the terms and conditions.  And click Next.

And then Hostmonster gets to work signing you up straight away.  And that’s it.  Congratulations, your purchase was successful.  And then you can just click the control panel, and you’re in.

Your log in details will have been sent to your email address by this point.  Just taking a while to load up.  And there we are.  You’re straight in now.

You can take a look at the get started now videos and help.  But we’ll just click no thanks.  And we’re now in a C-Panel administration area, which you’ll become familiar with over time.  And in the next video, we’re going to show you how to install your Ecommerce store with Hostmonster.  So thanks for watching.
