Getting Started: Web Hosting

Step One

Sign up for a web hosting account using our secure on-line order form: http://www.websitesource.com/order.shtml Our shared hosting plans are the most popular and economical. Within minutes, you can start uploading your pages to our servers using the "instant access IP address" or you can create new pages using the Builder Tool. Need help moving your website? Website Source now provides free transfer services: http://www.websitesource.com/hosting/domain_move.shtml

If you need to register a new domain name, this can be done at the same time you order the hosting account. Please allow at least 24-48 hours for your new domain name to propagate the Internet. Until then, you can upload your files using your IP address. Your IP address will be assigned to you upon completion of the order form. Getting Started is easy. For those that want to use a website template, follow these simple instructions to use Site Studio.

After establishing your account, you can login to your control panel at http://cp.websitesource.net

Step Two

If you already have registered a domain name, you will need to edit your DNS so your domain points to Website Source nameservers. Online videos will show you how to edit your DNS or transfer your domain by following these directions: http://www.websitesource.com/demo_center/index.htm

All-in-One Nameservers:
Primary: ns20.websitesource.net
Secondary: ns21.websitesource.net

Step Three

Cancel your hosting account with your previous host (if you have one) once your domain name resolves to our servers. You can tell that your domain name is pointing to our servers by doing a whois lookup. If our name servers are shown at the bottom, your transfer has been completed and your domain name is pointing to our servers.
