Hostgator Coupon Get 25% Off Tutorial How to Setup Web Host - Alright in this video
what a web hosting account is why you need it and how to get it all set up alright let's
get started
Okay a web hosting account is basically if you had a business and you needed to rent
an office building, essentially this is renting space on the online world and why you need
it you could set up a free blogging account at blogger.com but you're going to have some
restrictions there are certain things you're not going to be able to do, plus if Google
ever decides to shut down their blogger.com website you would lose all of your data all
of that hard work you put into it. Whereas if you owned your own web hosting you have
complete control over it. You could advertise on it, you could sell products and services.
You could even flip the website if you decide to sell it in the future for a profit. So
here is how we get started. You're going to go to Hostgator.com or you can use my affiliate
link below this video and I also provided a Hostgator Coupon promo code to get 25% off
which I will show you how to apply. So you're going to click on this button called view
web hosting plans and it's going to bring you to this page and this page is basically
explaining some different options that you can use. Now, I'm going to recommend to you
the Baby Plan and the reason why is the hatchling plan is great if you are going to only create
one website. But, trust me I have learned through experience once you start learning
how to create these websites you're going to want to create more than one. So a Baby
Plan is perfect because it says right here "Unlimited Domains" so basically you have
one web hosting account and you can create more than one website on the same Hosting
Account. So we are going to go with Baby Plan and you can pick different selection options
you can either go to a month to month program or you can purchase six months one year or
three year terms so you can basically pay ahead of time. And obviously the longer the
term the more money you will save. In this case we are going to set you up with the 1
year plan and we are going to click order now. So they are going to this order screen
and basically you already have a domain name which we showed you how to purchase on GoDaddy.
So you're going to click on this button and you're going to type in web address that you
had already purchased so in my case I am going to type AnthonyTran.biz and then you're going
to go ahead and confirm that you have the Baby Package and you can change the billing
cycle here if you wish. You're going to create a username and create a pin and basically
fill in you're billing information. Next you're going to scroll down and they are already
going to preset for you a purchase for a sight lock and code guard which is a backup program,
you can purchase these things however in this case I'm going to give you the least expensive
option so we are going to unclick those this time. Now as you can see right here they already
preset a SNAPPY Hostgator Coupon code which gives you a total price of $95.52 but if you
use my Hostgator Promo Code "myaccesspass" and click validate your price drops down to
$89.55 so basically it's a 25% off Hostgator Coupon code so it's a great thing. Hostgator
also offers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days worth of support you can call them,
you can live chat with them, you can email them, that's why I love about Hostgator because
they have awesome customer service and it's a very inexpensive way to first start off
an online business. So you're going to click I have read this and click create account.
So great! Now that you have purchased your Hosting Account you're going to get an email
that looks something like this. This is a very important email and you should definitely
save it somewhere. You're going to want to save these login addresses as well. The first
one is your billing system so if you ever need to change how your billing system is
you want to be able to access this link with your username and password, and then you are
also going to have your control panel login screen which you also want to save and maybe
bookmark. So I am going to go ahead and click on this and we will see you on the next screen.
So this is your control panel login screen. You're going to enter your username and temporary
password that they provided. Okay when you enter you're going to see a screen that looks
like this. And I am going to say No Thank You. and Click No I'm Fine Thank you here.
Next I want to show you how to change your password. You're going to go to this section
called Preferences and click change password. So go ahead and type in and you are going
to close this box and then go ahead and type in your old password provided and you are
going to type in a new one. And you are going to click change your password now. So there
you go your password has been changed. And that's pretty much the end of this video tutorial
of how to setup your web hosting account. Don't forget to use my Hostgator Coupon Code
to get 25% Off. My Hostgator promo code once again is "myaccesspass"
