The parts you will actually use — file manager, email accounts, databases, DNS records and backups — and, as importantly, which parts you can safely ignore.
Which builder suits what you are making, based on who maintains the site afterwards. Picking the wrong one is expensive to undo later.
Getting your chosen platform installed, configured and updating itself, rather than left at defaults.
How to choose and install them, and how to tell an abandoned plugin from a maintained one — the single most common way small sites get compromised.
What belongs on which page, and what the site needs to say before it can do its job.
Building pages and getting images onto them at a sensible size, so the site is not slow before it has any visitors.
Creating mailboxes, connecting them to your phone and desktop, and the authentication that keeps your mail out of other people’s junk folders.
Whatever else is in your way. It is your session — bring the specific thing you are stuck on.
It is worth booking if you have a hosting account and are not sure what to do with it — the session is 45 minutes of one-to-one time with somebody who sets these up daily, and you set the agenda. It is aimed at people building their first site, or inheriting one somebody else built.
It is not the right thing to book if something is broken. Faults are support's job, not training's, and support is included with your hosting at no charge —open a ticket instead and we will fix it. Migrating an existing site is also not this: we move sites across free of charge, as a separate service.
Sessions are booked by arrangement rather than through the cart, soget in touch and we will find a time. You can book one for a brand new hosting account or apply it to an account you already have.
