So you are looking at setting up your hosting – maybe it’s a good idea to register an account with Blacknight under your own name so that it “belongs to you” and you will have full control over it in future.

Note: There is no affiliation between us and Blacknight, nor are we resellers of their services – we just like to use them, they have very flexible Online Chat if you are stuck, the control panel is easy to use and the prices are not too bad for Ireland. 

If so, you will need to do the following steps – it should not take more than 10 minutes. You will need your credit card ready to pay €61.44 incl. VAT – that’s hosting for one year for a simple WordPress website. If you do not want to pay for it, we can add you to our 3R shared hosting account, but again, you will not have control over it.

So if you want to have your own account, please, follow these steps:

1. Please, go to this link: http://www.blacknight.com/shared-hosting-shop.html?plan=minimus&customise_option=no
2. Do not edit anything, just scroll down to the very bottom of the page and click “Next Step” (green button)
3. On the next page, click “Continue to Checkout” – a green button again – on this page you can also add a domain if you want to buy one as well – just fill in the fields in the “Buy a new Domain Name?” section and click “Search” and then “Add to Basket”
4. Fill out the contact details and payment forms as requested – you are creating a new account with Blacknight as a business.
5. When you’re finished, just make sure to record the login and password you chose so that you can access your account in future.

That’s it – all done!!
