How to start?

Welcome to 123Easysites!

To start hosting your site with us is as simple as 123!

Step 1: Determine your needs.

Getting started with your web hosting account is easy. The first step is determine what your needs are.

• First of all you need to have a domain name. If you do not have a domain name please visit our sister site. There you can select the domain name that you like.
• If you already have a domain name then goto step two. When you sign up for a hosting package you will receive detailed information on how to set up your DNS to point to your new web site.

Step 2: Create your account.

• Register to our system and create your account.
• Select the web hosting solution you want.
• When you purchase your solution your hosting space will be created in less than 30 minutes.

Step 3: Create your Web site.

You can begin uploading to your account now by using an FTP client or cpanel's file manager. In order to access file manager login to your control panel and once inside click "file manager". A new window should load showing what you would see as if you were using a ftp client. There's going to a bunch of folders and some other files related to your account functioning correctly. Do not delete any of these files/folders ever.

• If you are using an FTP client, put in your site's IP address under the "FTP address" field. Use the username and password sent to you in your welcome email. FTP always runs on Port 21.
• Once your FTP is connected, go into the "public_html" folder and begin uploading your site. To replace the default place holder page, you must upload an index.html in all lowercase lettering or delete the page and replace it with your own index page.
• Please note that by default, you do not have an email address setup with 123easysites. You will need to configure this yourself in cPanel.

Step 4: Important information

"Before propagation" as it is defined below is the point between when you sign up and when the changes to your name servers take effect (usually about 24 to 48 hours after you change your name servers).

• "After propagation" is once your site is up and running normally.
• During propagation you should use the "Before propagation" format.

Be sure to replace the information in red with the information from your welcome email.
