I buy and sell domains as a hobby. And just because I do, people ask me all sorts of questions about domain names. One of the more frequent questions that I get is “How do I create a www.GoDaddy.com account?”.
Telling them to go to www.justfuckinggoogleit.com for instructions does not work (one guy actually came back to me and said, “I couldn’t find any information on www.justfuckinggoogleit.com). So I’ve decided to just post the instructions here.
Take note that the easiest way to create a Go Daddy account is to purchase a domain name from them. Before you check out and complete the payment, the registration process will prompt you for your personal information and automatically create an account for you.
To create a Go Daddy account
- Open your Web browser, and then go to www.GoDaddy.com
.
- On the right side of the page, click the Create a New Account link (right below the logon box). The Create A New Customer Account page appears. Too lazy? Just click here then.
- Under Enter Your Contact Information, fill in the text boxes that are marked with an asterisk (*). The asterisk indicates required information.
- Under Stay Informed, indicate whether you want to receive promo and announcement email messages from Go Daddy. If you do not want to receive these types of email messages, click No for all the options in this box.
- Click Create a New Account.
The form refreshes and automatically logs you on to the www.GoDaddy.com Web site. You may now start purchasing Go Daddy products.
