A Step-by-Step Guide

It can sometimes be overwhelming when first signing up with a new Hosting company. Each company has its own unique process for setting up hosting accounts and we’d like to just take a moment and walk through how simple it really is to sign up at Foxyhare Web Services.

1.) First you will need to select your desired hosting plan and you can do this by visiting our “Hosting” link at the top of the page or by clicking here. There you will find details to our available hosting packages at which point you can select which hosting package is best suited for you.

2.) The next step is configuring your Domain Name options.  You are given 3 options to select from:

1. I want Foxyhare Web Services to register a new domain name for me.
   This means you do not currently have a domain name and would like to register a new domain name with Foxyhare Web Services.
2. I want to transfer my domain to Foxyhare Web Services.
   If you already own and manage a domain name elsewhere, but interested in transferring it to us, this would be your desired selection.
3. I will update my name servers on an existing domain or I will register a new domain elsewhere.
   You already own a domain name and would like to continue hosting it where its currently at. This is OK. You can point the Domain Name to our servers which all the appropriate information for this would then be emailed to you upon completing your registration.

3.) Once you’ve selected your desired choice you’ll load a new page with Product / Service information for the desired package. Here you will also find the option to select your “Billing Cycle” (ie, Monthly, Semi-Annually, Annually). After you’ve made your selection click “Update“.

4.) This new page will load a “Shopping Cart” review page. You will see listed the items you’ve selected for your Hosting Package, including the Domain Name if you’ve opted to purchase one.

At this time, if you have available a “Coupon Code” you would then enter it and click the “Validate Code” button. If the coupon code you’re using is valid the cost of your total will be adjusted accordingly.

At this point you would then click “Checkout“.

5.) Now you’re ready to fill in your “Client Details” which will remain private and only for our personal records. This information is not shared with any third-party clients / partners and is strictly for the use of Foxyhare Web Services only.

Once you have completed filling in your Client Details, there is the “Payment Method” available near the bottom. You can select at this time “PayPal” or “Google Checkout“. If necessary we can arrange other payment methods but you will be required to contact us in regards to these.

At this point you can add Additional Notes for us if there are any and if not you can proceed with clicking “Complete Order“. Be sure to check the “Agreement” box above this complete order button as this is a requirement by Foxyhare Web Services and our Hosting Terms and Conditions.

Once you have completed the order you will be provided an “Invoice” and will receive emails with details to both your Client Account and instructions on how to complete the payment for the services selected.

As soon as your payment is completed the account will automatically be setup, there is no wait-time for your account setup. However, new domain registrations do take anywhere from 24-48 hours to propagate and you can find more information about Domain Propagation’s in our blog.

It’s that easy but if you’ve any questions please do not hesitate to Contact Us or leave a comment beneath this post.

We do hope this Step-by-Step guide has been of some use to you.

Kind regards,
Foxyhare Staff
