Getting Your HostMonster Account Setup
Step One in Getting Started
Welcome to HostMonster! To get started with using your new Hostmonster hosting account, you'll need an explanation of the basic process of getting your Web site up and running as well as some important features that will help you administrate your hosting account. We'll start by assuming that you have just created a brand new Hostmonster account using our setup process and have already received your account setup letter containing important account information such as your account username and password. If you have not received your account activation letter containing this key information, please contact our support department immediately.
One the first things that every new account user should know is that for a few days after your original signup date, you will have to access your domain in a web browser temporarily via the address and your username (example http://box1.hostmonster.com/~username), not your new domain name (Web address). Your new or transferred domain name can take a few days to function due to the fact that Online NIC, Network Solutions or other domain name registrars, must register and propagate the name across the entire Internet. This can take from 3-5 days for new domains, and 4-7 days for domain name transfers. To test the domain, simply type it into a Web browser and see if your account comes up.
