Ok so now we're gonna get into the real

step-by-step walk through from buying hosting package with a free domain

setting up your cpanel easily with GoDaddy

If you need help with any step along the way

Please feel free to comment any questions you may have and I'll do my best to help you out in a comment section below

first step click the overcome technicalities link in the video description

below to open up the companion article and resource page that we will be using in conjunction with this video

So once you're ready let's get it started

go to www.godaddy.com

Click on the hosting navigation menu

then click on web hosting on sale link

This will take you to GoDaddy's web hosting page where you need to choose a hosting plan

Scroll down below to get to GoDaddy's available hosting plans

We'll gonna be making it simple so we'll click on the Add to Cart button under the economy plan

Now, we see here that the economy hosting plan is added

And what we need to do at this point, is select the term link and for this demonstration

We'll gonna choose 12 months so click on the circle next to 12 months to select that option

Now if we scroll down a bit we are seeing here that GoDaddy just added a website back up

including daily scans and regular monitoring which is of course part of GoDaddy's upsells

Please note that this is optional and we don't need it just yet so we can click on the circle next to No thanks

so the added feature will be removed from the purchase

Ifwe scroll down below we continue to see here GoDaddy's other product features and upsells

And if you're new to this

There's a tendency that you might end up buying the items you don't need just yet so please make sure to not click on any

of these additional products and by the way you can add these features later on if you really want them for your website but for

simplicity reasons let's skip them for now

Next, click on the continue with these options button

So what happens next is that we will be getting a free domain with a hosting plan we have chosen

in this box here you can simply type in your

preferred domain name or website name in my case I will type in the website name that I want to use

after that click on search to see if it's available

at this point page reloads and we see here that the domain name is available

if your preferred domain name is taken or not available it simply means that someone else already owns it

Then you can simply modify your domain name to make it more unique

All right so we're all set here I will now click on select and continue and

This will take me to the checkout page to review my order

So now let's review the products that we've added to our card before we proceed with purchasing this order

First we have here the economy Linux hosting with cPanel, which is the first item we added earlier

Now it's important to double check that the term length

is set to 12 months

In case you have a different term length all you need to do is click on this drop down here

And make sure 12 months is selected if you choose six months

three months or one month as your term length your domain name will no longer be free

And not only that setting your term length for 12 months gives you the biggest

Discount rate of 88% off compared to other term lengths with the promo code we'll use later on

Next we have here office 365 starter email which is added by default

But since we don't need this for now I will simply click on the trash icon below it and it is gone

Then, we have here the domain name we added earlier for free please note that for our purpose here you need to make sure that

One year is selected on this box below your domain name and the reason for that is that we want to make our domain name free

of charge for the first year now GoDaddy sometimes

changes this to two years and if that happens simply change it back to one year now if you scroll down below

You will see GoDaddy's additional upsells and features that you can add later on by the way but to make things simpler

let's skip it for now

let's scroll, back up again and make sure you only have the right products inside your cart

So again let me emphasize that in order to make your site up and running

you only need these two the economy Linux hosting with cPanel and the domain name you want to register

Now it's about time to have a discount for this purchase let's scroll

down a bit and click and click on the have a promo code link and the have a promo code pop-up appears

Next I will type in a promo code inside the promo code box and hit apply

So the page reloads the promo code is applied and we now have a new price which is lower than what we initially

have giving us 88% off of our purchase

at this point we can now click on the create account button or you can click on the sign in button to go to the next step and

complete the purchase

In my case I will create a new account

Now you can create a new GoDaddy account

And enter your email address and make sure to provide a valid one here because this is where you'll get

Notifications from GoDaddy about your domain and aside from that you will also be receiving

Verification emails and renewal notifications using the email address you put here

At this point the email address I entered was placed to the user name field, which is totally fine so I leave it as is

Next enter your password and please take note of the criteria below all items must contain a check before you can proceed

enter your four-digit support pin now it can be a random four-digit number depending on your preference

and once done press on the great account button

Now you will be forwarded back to the checkout page where you fill in your billing information

Simply complete each field on the form before you can proceed on to the next step

Once done click on the Save button

Enter your payment information on the provided fields this includes your debit or credit card number

the expiration date and the security code

Please note that you can also pay through PayPal or Union Pay so please use the payment option that's best suited for you

Once done click on the Save button to save your payment information and finally click on the complete purchase button

And that's it you must have purchased your web-hosting successfully now click on your profile on the upper right part of the page

Click on the my products link and we see here that we need to verify our email address

So at this point simply check for GoDaddy's notification email that is sent to the email address you used to register

So I will simply open a new tab here in order to access my email inbox

alright so I'm now currently inside my inbox and

What I got here is the receipt of the order and aside from that I also have the verification email with the subject line action

Required please verify your email address so let's click on it to open

simply click on the verify your email address button and this will take you to another page telling you that the verification went successful

Now if you don't verify your email address

There's a possibility that GoDaddy will hold your account so it's important to access the email you used to register and verify your GoDaddy account

Now after verifying your account

GoDaddy will do all of the heavy lifting to make your account live it's also a great

idea to at least set 5 to 10 minutes buffer time to get things to fully propagate

there's also instances that GoDaddy put a yellow bar on top of your account telling you to verify your email address

even if you're already done with verification

Please give it a few more minutes and you'll be good to go and that's all there

is to it you've successfully bought a web hosting package with a free domain and GoDaddy

Now the next step is setting up the cPanel to better manage your web hosting account

you can look for the step-by-step walkthrough video for that in the description below
