6. Points on the contract

Once decided which server you will use, sign a contract. There are easy-to-understand instructions on how to sign a contract in every server, so please refer to them. In here, I will only mention about the points on the contract.

In first, prepare your address, email address for contact, and online payment service or credit card.

Also you create the login ID and password in advance.

It is for getting a contract quickly (^^).

Create the password for 12 digits or more

The password is set for 12 digits or more. There isn’t the obvious evidence, but it is said so. The security will become stronger. After that, you will follow the server’s rule ( includes capital letter, symbols, 13 digits or more, etc. ).

You can lie about your name and address

Because the identification of contract is supposed to complete by email only, there is no need to input your name and address correctly. This info can be rewritten later freely, there is no need to describe the truth at first. It’s the more secure for when your server is hacked.

At least, you should tell a lie during the trial period.

The lie about your name likely will cause a problem with false statements, but it doesn’t a matter unless revealed (^^;. Keep in mind that hackers are often supposed to manage the personal informations by name. Changing your name to a relative who lives with you is one good way. It can avoid the false statement.

If you have a post office box, you should choose this one.

Anyway, I cannot owe any responsibility for the damage caused by these (-_-).

Payment should be done by online payment service

Thinking about the case that your administration screen is hacked, you should use online payment services such as PayPal or Apple Pay. Even if you pay by credit card, it may be no problem. Because the number is only seen the last four digits on the administration screen.

Online payment Service is quite useful for buying add-ons and plugins.

The most useful one for WorPress is PayPal.

Do not set up email account

Email of Web Hosting Service is supposed the less use at the point of that the notification is not sent to your mobile. If your server is hacked, it’s very important for how quick you can notice it.

Use the email account that will receive email notifications, such as Gmail.

The email account of Web Hosting Service is only for when you want to use for work as needed.

Choose the domain names in advance

You are likely asked only to create the initial domain at the contract. Once you decided the domain name, you cannot change it. So take care of entering it. The original domain is supposed to make after signing the contract. Even if “domain name” is displayed at the contract, it just means an initial domain.

You do not enter the original domain name at this initial domain. In my experience, I entered the same name as the original domain’s, the time when I wanted to make the original domain, it was rejected. Therefore, this site becomes ” michirojohn1.com ” (^^;. Furthermore, when I changed my server’s plan, I was refused to use the same domain as “michirojohn” (-_-;. So the current initial domain becomes “michiroujohn.~~~.jp”.

It is likely unregistered if you will leave a domain name for a year, you can use it again ( in fact, michirojohn1 is such a name ). It’s better to think about your original domain name from the start, and never enter it to the domain name ( initial domain ).

So, you will decide both names of initial domain and original domain in advance.

Make sure to choose a unique domain name. Doing so, there is a case it is not approved. Because it is already in use. So it’s better to make several candidates.

Also, it is likely no problem of that top-level domain is cheap one. It needs fee, and “.com” and “.net” are very cheap. The cost depends on the names. It is said that high-priced items make the rank higher in search results, but it’s suspicious. Surely, we can see the sites which are using “.com” or “.net” mostly (^^;.

You got it !
