Choose what to do first
Pick a goal on the page a new account opens on, set up the email your plan includes in one step, or order Object Storage with the free amounts your plan gives.
In the dashboard
Once account plans open on your account, a new account opens on What do you want to do first? after sign-up. Each goal on the page opens the page that sets it up. Email, which your plan includes at no charge, opens a page that sets it up in one step. You can come back to the page at any time at coritan.com/dashboard/welcome.
Before you begin
Section titled Before you begin- You have created an account with your own email address. A sign-up with a new
@coritan.ggmailbox opens webmail instead, and a sign-up that started from another page, such as an order, goes back to that page. - Account plans are open on your account. Without them, the page sends you to the dashboard's overview.
Choose a goal
Section titled Choose a goalSelect the goal that matches what you want to do:
- A game server
- Opens the server order page, showing games (Order a server).
- A website
- Opens the Add a website page, which says the site needs a server or hosting and offers two choices under Where will your site run?: Build a new site, which leads to the server order page with WordPress chosen, or Use a site I already have, which asks Do you have a domain? on the same page (Put a website online). Cancel returns to the goal list.
- Email for my domain
- Opens the page that sets up the Mail Hosting your plan includes,
/dashboard/mail?setup=email(Set up the email your plan includes). - An app or a database
