In this tutorial I am going to go through the steps involved in setting up an account with WebhostingPad.
The reason I have chosen webhosting pad is mainly because of the price of there web hosting, which at $1.99 a month, anyone can afford to get a site up and running without putting to much strain on the bank account.
Webhosting pad also provide great support with a 24/7 live chat service, meaning you can contact support any time you need them.
I suggest before you set up your account and hand over any of your hard earned cash Make sure you have tested the live chat service and you are totally happy with the level of support you expect to get.
The first page you should see when you land on the Webhostingpad site should look similar to the following image.

To get things rolling just click on the Order Now button. (Number 1), If you run into any problems go to the live support for help. (Number 2)
After clicking the Order Now button the next page to load up should be this one.

- If you purchased your domain through Godaddy you will need to choose the Owned option, a drop-down box will appear, just type in your domain name in the drop-down box,
- Click on the plan you want to purchase.

You will then be taken to a screen where you will be asked to enter your contact information along with your credit card or payment details, you will need to fill in all of the fields in yellow, these are required .

Once your payment has successfully been processed and you have set up your username and password you should receive a receipt sent to the email address you used when making your payment. It should look similar to the one below.

Click on the link provided at the bottom of your receipt, this will take you to your new hosting account.
