Idiots guide basics of setting up an online presence for your product or business.
Getting started is easy at HostingWorx. We have an automated system that can get you rolling in minutes.
The Basics include a domain name and e-mail address. Every company should have these today. You do not need a web site to utilize a domain name and e-mail address.
Domain names and e-mail address should be treated as separate functions or units. The domain is a product, and the e-mail using that domain name is a service. We allow you to purchase and manage the domain name separately and on it’s own. You are never tied to our services by purchasing a domain name.
The first thing to do is purchase a domain name through HostingWorx. By default, this will be set up so we can add services as you require. The domain name will be yours to use and considered it’s own purchase.
The second thing would be to open a hosting account. Hosting accounts offer e-mail service within the plan (and many other things), this can be done at HostingWorx as well. When you sign-up for the hosting account, you simply put in your domain name that you just purchased when prompted. We then automatically setup the right folders on our servers and you will receive a link to a web based control panel where you will go in and setup your email address(s). If you already have a domain name, click here.
The third thing will be to setup your e-mail client to be able to download and send e-mail messages from the address you created. We have an extensive help library to explain how to do this for most client software. It’s EASY.
