📝 Step 2: Register or Connect Your Domain Name
A domain name is your website’s address — like yourbrand.com. During checkout, you’ll be asked to:
Register a new domain (if you don’t have one)
Transfer an existing domain from another provider
Use an existing domain and update your nameservers later
If you’re registering a new domain through IndieInnovator, we’ll automatically connect it to your hosting service. If using an existing domain, you’ll receive instructions to update your DNS settings.
🔐 Step 3: Create Your IndieInnovator Account
You’ll now be prompted to:
Enter your contact information (name, email, address)
Choose a strong password
Select your billing cycle (monthly, annually, or multi-year)
Review your order summary and apply any promo codes
Once you’ve completed payment, you’ll receive a confirmation email with:
Your hosting login credentials
Your cPanel access link
Your nameserver information
