How to Get a Web Host

Tuesday, September 7, 2010 @ 10:45 pm by ProBlogit.com

Getting a web host is simply choosing a web host and signing up for a web hosting account with a web hosting provider. Choosing a web host may not be as easy as you think because you need to consider a lot of things that you need for a Website. But signing up for a web hosting account is as simple as registering a domain name.

You just follow the instructions just like when you register a domain name. After a few minutes, after signing up for a web hosting account, you can already set up a Website.

I wrote about this topic on how to get a web host or how to sign up for a web hosting account at Sehdi.com. It is a follow up to my blog entry on how to register a domain name.

I used DreamHost as the web hosting provider to illustrate to you how to sign up for a web hosting account. For one thing, DreamHost offers a free trial at the moment.

How to Sign Up for a Web Hosting Account

Proceed to DreamHost.

1. Supply the necessary details at the blank fields at the “Signup, Start your Free Trial!” page and click the button “Continue”.

2. Choose either of the two options at the “Signup, Pick a domain…” page and click the button “Continue”.

3. Choose any of the three free trial offers at the “Sign up, Pick a plan…” page and click the button “Continue”.

4. Supply the necessary details at the blank fields at the “Sign up, Account Contact Info” page and click the button “Continue”.

5. Supply the necessary details at the blank fields at the “Sign up, Just a little more…” page and click the button “Continue”.

6. Supply the necessary details at the blank fields at the “Sign up, Payment Info” page and click the button “Continue”.

7. Just click the button “Continue” at the “Sign up, Almost Done…” page.

8. Just click the button “Continue” at the “Sign up, Would you like to add a private server?” page.

9. Just click the button “Continue” at the “Sign up, Would you like to add…” page.

10. Just click the button “Continue to our web panel” at the “Sign up, Welcome to DreamHost” page.

11. Log in by supplying the necessary details that you used when you signed up at the “DreamHost Login” page and click the button “Log In”.

12. Click the button “Call Me” under “Welcome to your DreamHost Control Panel!” and “Approval Call” at the DreamHost Control Panel.

Once DreamHost calls and approves your web hosting account, you are done. You can now set up your Website.
