Once you complete your order with WebFulHost, your hosting account is activated right away. This guide explains exactly what happens next, where to find your login details, and the few steps you need to take to get your website online.
Your account is activated quickly
WebFulHost provisions hosting accounts automatically. In most cases your account is live within minutes of payment — usually under five — and you'll receive an email confirming your order almost immediately.
Your welcome email
Shortly after your order is placed, WebFulHost sends a welcome email to the email address on your account. This email contains the two most important sets of details you need:
- Client area login — used to log in at the WebFulHost website to manage your billing, services and tickets.
- cPanel login details — the web address (URL), username and password for your hosting control panel, where you manage files, email and databases.
Keep this email somewhere safe. Most customers need to refer to it a few times during the first week. If you can't find it, see How to Find Your Hosting Login Details.
Your hosting is set up fast
WebFulHost provisions hosting accounts automatically on NVMe SSD infrastructure, so yours is ready to use within minutes of payment. Every account is monitored around the clock and backed up daily, which keeps load times fast for your visitors wherever they are.
Nameservers and your domain
Every WebFulHost hosting account is assigned a pair of nameservers. If you registered a new domain with your order, it's pointed at WebFulHost automatically. If you're bringing a domain you already own, you'll need to update the nameservers at your current registrar yourself. See How to Point Your Domain to WebFulHost for step-by-step help.
What to do next
- Log into your client area to review your account and invoices.
- Log into cPanel for the first time.
- If you're using a domain you already own, update your nameservers.
- Install WordPress or upload your website files.
- Create your first email address.
Work through each one using the Getting Your Website Online Checklist — it ties all of these steps together.
