Signing up for an account requires you to choose a desired hosting package. Visit our products page to learn about the different options we have. If you are unsure about which plan to choose, check out our article titled Which Plan Should I Choose? (Hint: Our "I'm Getting Started" option is a great starting point for anyone just getting into hosting their website).
After deciding on a plan, you will be taken to the checkout process. The first step is to provide us with the domain you will be using for your website. It is important to have this domain already registered through a reputible Domain Registrar. We don't currently off domain registration but we do recommend Google Domains or Namecheap. Make sure you've entered your domain correctly because it is tough to change this in the future.
Next up you will be able to review your chosen plan and select your billing cycle. We recommend annual billing because you will receive two months free. Go ahead and continue to be taken to the final review screen before you enter your payment details.
On the review page, make sure the correct domain is listen under your chosen plan and continue to Checkout. On the checkout page is where you will enter your account details. For your email we recommend setting it to one you check frequently so you can act quickly and respond to or receive any notices you may receive about your account. This account password will be used to login to your account dashboard. It will not be the password for your SFTP user or Plesk Control Panel. The SFTP and Plesk Control Panel will be generated automatically and you can opt to change those through the plesk control panel after your account has been setup.
Clicking Complete Order will allow you to pay with a credit card or you can use PayPal to complete your order.
After completing your purchase, you should be taken to your account page. If not, you can access it using this link or by clicking My Account in the navigation bar. One final step must be taken for your account set up to be complete. Please check your inbox for a verification email sent from [email protected]. Click the link in the email to let us know that you've entered a valid email address.
Congratulations! You now have an account set up with 123Host.me. It is very likely that your hosting plan was automatically configured after your payment was authenticated.
