We're thrilled you've chosen Athenahost for your web hosting needs! We’ve streamlined the signup process to make it as easy as pie. Here's your fun and straightforward guide to getting started.
Step 1: Pick Your Perfect Web Hosting Package 🌟
At Athenahost, we offer three awesome cloud web hosting packages. The main differences? The number of websites you can host and the resources you get. Need more power for over 100,000 monthly visitors? Check out our VPS Hosting packages. Let’s get you the right fit!
Step 2: Choose Your Primary Domain 🌐
You’ve got three cool options here:
- Register a New Domain: Get a fresh, shiny domain! Sign up for at least a year, and the first year’s registration is on us. 🎁
- Transfer Your Domain: Already have a domain with another registrar like GoDaddy or NameCheap? Transfer it to Athenahost! We’ll handle the setup and make sure your DNS is spot on. Plus, if you sign up for a year, we’ll cover the first year’s transfer fee.
- Use Your Existing Domain: Want to keep your domain where it is? No problem! Just update your nameservers to ours. Easy peasy.
