Return to "FAQ"Domain name registrations are best utilized by pairing them with high quality hosting services, so OpenSourceHost has made it easy for you to create a matching hosting account for any domain name which is not already associated with a Web Hosting plan. To purchase hosting for a domain name, simply login to the Customer Manager at https://my.opensourcehost.com and click on the My Products tab at the top of the screen, followed by the ‘View Details’ link beside the domain name you are working with. Each domain name which is not already linked to a Web Hosting account will have a Add Hosting icon to the right of it. Click on the Add Hosting icon, then select the type of hosting plan you would like to add. From here, simply continue through the brief ordering process to complete the addition of your new hosting plan.
Important Note: Be sure that the billing details on your account are up to date so there are no delays in adding your new hosting plan.
Within minutes your Web Hosting service will be active and usable with your domain name; you will then be able to begin using FTP or your publishing software to upload website contents, and get started using the control panel to add email accounts and install applications. If you have any questions about using your Web Hosting account or which plan level is best for your needs, please submit a support ticket at https://my.opensourcehost.com/cm.html?stage=STSSubmitTicket.
