In the description below so you can be taken to HostPapa and so you can take advantage of the HostPapa discount, getting you up to 71% off plus a free domain name. A little disclosure. The link is an affiliate link, meaning I’ll receive a commission from HostPapa at no extra cost to you.
Plus, you’ll get an awesome HostPapa discount. Once you click the link in the description below, you’ll be on the HostPapa page shown here. Scroll down to the next section, where it lists the HostPapa plans. You’ll see you can get HostPapa web hosting for as low as $2.51 a month.
You’ll see four different HostPapa plans being listed. You’ll see the Start, Plus, Pro, and Ultra Plan. The Start plan you’ll get up to 71% off. This plan is good if you are only going to have one website or just starting out, as this plan only includes one website.
The Start plan includes up to 10 email addresses you can create, 10 GB SSD Storage, and this plan doesn’t include website staging. The Plus plan you’ll get up to 53% off. This plan comes with up to 10 websites, website staging, 100 GB SSD Storage, 100 email addresses,
And some extra plus features such as unlimited MYSQL databases, and 2 times more CPU and MYSQL resources. The Pro plan you’ll get up to 53% off. This plan comes with unlimited websites, unlimited free migrations, free Wildcard SSL Certificate, website staging, unlimited SSD Storage, unlimited email addresses, and some extra Pro features
Such as unlimited MYSQL databases, 4 times more CPU and MYSQL resources, and 2 times more I/O resources. The Pro plan also comes with Enhanced Security features that comes with free automated backups for a year, free domain privacy for a year, and website protection basic for a year.

The ultra security suite also includes daily malware scan with removal assistance, free
Website vulnerability scan, free website trust seal, and advanced DDoS protection. Once you are ready with a plan, click the get started button. For this tutorial, I’m going to choose the Start plan. Scroll down to the order details section. You can choose your billing term.
Click on it, and you can choose between 36 months, 24 months, 12 months, 6 months, 3 months, and 1 month. You’ll see you’ll get the greatest discount with the 36-month term. Something I want to note is to get a free domain name you’ll have to choose the 12, 24, or 36 month term.
The 1 month, 3 months, or 6 month plans don’t include a free domain name. I’ll choose the 12-month term for this tutorial. Next, you’ll see server location. Click the dropdown and you can change the server location if you need too. You can choose the United States, Canada, or Europe.
Scroll down to the add these website essentials section. You’ll see some optional HostPapa website essentials you can choose from. The first one is protection power website security. This will protect your website from being hacked and malware being placed on it. It will also monitor your site and let you know of any vulnerabilities.
If you hover over the green checkmark, you can click the red x icon if you don’t want this website essential. Next, you’ll see automated website backup. This will back up your website daily, and you can restore your site to a previous backup with a click of a button.
You can click the red x icon if you don’t want this website essential. Next is a paid SSL Certificate. HostPapa comes with free SSL Certificates for your site. The free let’s encrypt SSL Certificate is fine for most.
An example of where a paid SSL Certificate could be good in my opinion, is if you are going to have an e-commerce store selling products online and accepting payments on your site. Or accepting payments on your site for anything like services, courses, consulting fees, and more. Or dealing with high volume of sales.
You can click the plus icon to add it if you’d like. Next, you’ll see Papa Care +. This will give you front-of-line access to support and help with technical installations, advice to improve speed, and much more. You can click the plus icon to add it if you’d like.
Click the next step button to proceed. You can now choose your domain name. If you already have a domain name you can select the I already own a domain name and input it. You can choose between, I want to transfer my existing domain name to HostPapa or I will update my Nameservers.
I’ll click back on I need a domain. Type in a domain that you’d like to have and click the get my domain button. On the next page, if you go over on the your order part you’ll see domain privacy with the charge.
Domain privacy protects your personal information showing in the public whois database so that spammers and telemarketers don’t get ahold of your information to flood your email or phone with offers of their services. When you register a domain name no matter what company you choose the domain goes into
The public whois database as domain names are regulated. With domain privacy it’ll show HostPapa’s default contact information instead of yours. Highly recommend domain privacy. If you want to remove it click the question mark icon and you can click remove. Next, fill out your account details for your HostPapa account.
Once you do this it will take you to where you can input your payment information in. HostPapa also accepts payments via PayPal. Click the PayPal icon if you want to pay via PayPal. It will take you to PayPal after you click the place your order button to continue your payment with PayPal.
Click the place your order button. HostPapa will now email you your receipt along with login details so you can start creating a site with HostPapa.
