We use Reclaim Hosting for domain registration and hosting in this class. To get started, head on over to ReclaimHosting.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Reclaim<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Click the blue “Sign Up” button to head to this page:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Here, click select the $30\/year “Personal” plan. Be aware that you’ll actually be paying $45\/per year for a new domain, unless you want to go with a subdomain of Reclaim Hosting (so, instead of www.yourname.com your site would be www.yourname.reclaim.hosting.com.) Personally, I’d recommend shelling out the extra $15 for your own domain, but the choice is yours! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the next screen, enter your preferred domain name.<\/p>\n\n\n

Note: be sure to leave the default Whois Privacy Protection, included free, turned on when you’re registering your domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, be sure to take note of your password<\/strong>, as managing it (and all of your other passwords for this course\u2014Dropbox, your lab computer password, etc.) is entirely up to you\u2014NMI faculty don’t have access to any of these accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After completing checkout, you’ll receive several emails from Reclaim Hosting (if you don’t see any of these messages in your primary inbox, be sure to check your Promotions and\/or Spam folders):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
