WEBSITE DESIGNERS - Sign up for your FREE web listing at Dirt Cheap Web Designs! Register / Log InWhen you start building your website, one of the first things you'll want to do is choose a domain name and sign up for hosting. Although I no longer recommend iPower (aka iPowerWeb) as my preferred hosting provider, there are some people who still like their services. If you want to sign up for an iPower hosting account, follow the instructions below.
INSTRUCTIONS:
When you're ready, follow these steps to purchase your hosting and domain service through iPowerWeb:
1. Go to www.ipower.com
2. Click on the "BUY NOW" button on the right hand side of the page.
3. In the box type in yourdomain.com (substitute your chosen domain name). Do not add the "www" in front of it. If this is a new domain, leave the dropdown box on "New". If you already purchased this domain elsewhere, as is the case if your website is being redesigned, select "Transfer". Click Submit.
4. On the following page enter your billing information. You can leave Business Name blank if you are using a personal credit card.
Enter your email address. Be sure to enter this correctly, it is where the account setup emails go and also becomes the administration email address. You must forward the Account Setup email to me when you receive it.
5. At the bottom of the page it asks you to select a package. Choose the 12 month plan for $7.95 per month. The 12 month plan has free setup and the domain is free for as long as you keep your hosting at iPowerWeb.
6. Choose a password you can remember. I'll need it to access the control panel.
7. Click "Purchase." You should see a confirmation page. A confirmation email will also be sent to the email address you entered in Step 4. Your credit card will be billed for $95.40.
8. Last, send me the password you entered so I can start setting up your email accounts, etc. It takes 24 hours or less for your iPowerWeb account to become active and 2-3 days for your domain name to become accessible.
That's it! If you have any problems while signing up for hosting, contact me for assistance. I'll be happy to help you. If you're a client at Foxglove Website Designs, my services are free. If not, I'll do my best to assist you but can't make any guarantees.
