Answer by: George Kaloyanov, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support

You can use your Aplus.Net Control Panel to open new shared hosting and domain registration plans.

Here is how to use the Aplus.Net Control Panel to open a new shared hosting plan:

1. Start by logging into your Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net using your Registration Number and Customer Password.
2. Click on Buy Services from the top navigation bar.
3. Select Shared Hosting and then click on Unix Hosting or Windows Hosting depending on the type of hosting plan you want to open.
1. Unix Hosting – Personal Unix, Business Class Unix, Pro, eCommerce Unix
2. Windows Hosting – Personal Windows, Business Class Windows, Pro Windows, eCommerce Windows
4. Select the exact hosting plan you’d like to open and click the respective sign up now button.
5. Select the billing period for your new hosting plan.
6. Select the Main FTP Username and FTP Password for the new shared hosting plan.
7. Select the domain name that you’d like to associate with the new hosting plan. 3 options are available
1. “I have a domain name but I do not want to transfer it” – Please enter your existing domain name in the Existing Domain Name text field. With this option you state that your domain name is already registered but you’d like to keep the registration with your current domain registrar. Please contact your domain registrar and point this domain name to Aplus.Net’s nameservers: ns1.abac.com and ns2.abac.com.
2. “I do not have a domain name and I prefer to register it later” – Choose this option if you’d like to open a new hosting plan without hosting any domain in it for now. You can always register and host new domains in that plan using the same Control Panel.
3. “I will register my new domain name today” – Choose this option if you want to open new domain name registration along with the new hosting plan. Use the Register New Domain section to enter your registration plan details:

                                                              i.      Exact name for your new domain.

                                                             ii.      Domain Extension (.com, .net, etc). Default is set to .com

                                                           iii.      Domain Password

                                                          iv.      Registration Period (1-10 years). Default is set to 2 years

                                                            v.      Anonymous Registration. Default is set to “No (free)”.

8. Click the Proceed to Finalize Order button.
9. Review your order details and click Finalize order to open the new plan(s).
