Just because I buy and sell domains as a hobby, people ask me all sorts of questions about domains. One of the more frequent questions that I get is “How do I create a GoDaddy.com account?”.

It’s getting boring to explain the steps again and again. And telling them to go to www.justfuckinggoogleit.com for instructions doesn’t work (one guy actually came back to me and said, “I couldn’t find any information on www.justfuckinggoogleit.com). So I’ve decided to just post the instructions here.

NOTE: The easiest way to create a Go Daddy account is to purchase a domain name from them. Before you can check out and pay, the domain registration process will prompt you for your personal information and create an account for you.

To create a Go Daddy account

1. Open your Web browser, and then go to GoDaddy.com.
2. On the right side of the page, click the Create a New Account link (right below the logon box). The Create A New Customer Account page appears. Too lazy? Just click here then.
3. Under Enter Your Contact Information, fill in the text boxes that are marked with an asterisk (*). The asterisk indicates required information.
4. Under Stay Informed, indicate whether you want to receive promo and announcement email messages from Go Daddy. If you do not want to receive these types of email messages, click No for all the options in this box.
5. Click Create a New Account.

The form refreshes and automatically logs you on to the GoDaddy.com Web site. You may now start purchasing Go Daddy products.

You should also receive an email confirmation from Go Daddy (at the email address you specified when you created your account), with your Go Daddy customer number. Record this number and keep it in a safe place. You can use your customer number (as an alternative to your logon name) to log on to the Go Daddy Web site.
