Earn Your Client's ConfidencePart 2 - Signing up for a website hosting


Go to hostmonster.com


Click that sign up now button



Select the Pricing plan you want to use:



I chose the Plus plan because


I plan on creating more websites in the

future


Next step: connect a domain to your

account



Since I already have a domain name


bought at register.com more

than a year ago


I typed my domain in this box



Click ‘Next’



Fill out the account information



Choose your package information



Note: compute your package payment

properly!


e.g. if you choose the Plus 36 month price -

$6.95/month


the computation is:


$6.95 x 36 months = $250.20


Don’t forget to add in the site back up pro,


domain privacy protection + other add

ons


Enter your billing information



Confirm that you have read the terms of

service



then click ‘Submit’



After that, you’ll receive a welcome

email


from Hostmonster



with all your account info!


(for privacy purposes, I had to blur my acct info)


Now, if you’re like me who bought


their domain from another registrar


you’ll need to do these two steps


so you can access your Wordpress

admin page successfully


1.Disconnect your domain


If your domain is connected to another

website


like Strikingly, Squarespace or Wix


you’ll have to remove that site’s DNS and


and do step number 2:


2. Point domain to

Hostmonster Is your domain connecte


Go to your registrar (where you bought

your domain)


I bought mine at register.com



Go login to your account


Choose the domain you want to manage



Look for DNS or nameservers



Then remove your registrar’s default

nameservers


and replace it with Hostmonster’s nameservers:


ns1.hostmonster.comns2.hostmonster.com


Wait for 24-48 hours


for the new nameservers to

connect


or ‘propagate’ as techie peeps call it!


After that, you should be able


to do part 3: installing wordpress
