For a limited time:  Create a SiteBay account and WordPress Site
to try this guide for free.

Sign Up for an Account

First, you need to create a SiteBay account to start using our services. If you already have a SiteBay account, you can skip to the next section.

  1. Open a web browser and navigate to my.sitebay.org/signup. If you are not already logged in to an account, the Create an Account form is displayed.

  2. Enter your email address and a strong password. Alternatively, you can sign up using your existing Apple, Google or GitHub/GitLab account. When using another provider, you are prompted for a username in a separate step.

    Account passwords must be a minimum of 11 characters in length and be sufficiently complex. Each password is individually analyzed by an algorithmic tool to determine it’s strength. When creating a password, follow the recommendations listed below:

    • Password should be at least 11 characters in length (though longer passwords are considered stronger).
    • Avoid using simple passwords based on dictionary words.
    • Use a mixture of unpredictable uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
    • Avoid repeating characters (aaa), sequences (abcd), and keyboard patterns (qwerty).
  3. A confirmation email is sent to your email address shortly after. Click the link in that email to confirm your email address.
