New Account Basics

Having just started? Enter your control panel and explore the menus.

Domains & DNS

A domain name and a hosting account are two necessities for a successful website. Make sure the name servers for your domain point to Bluehost if it isn't already registered here.

Build Your Site

How do you plan to create your website? You can utilize our Weebly-powered in-house site builder, set up WordPress, or browse the choices on the Mojo Marketplace. Add an FTP account and transfer your files to Bluehost if you already have a website!

Email Accounts

Create a professional email @ your domain to take charge of the reputation of your company. Once you've created an account, access your webmail or set it up to send emails to a certain email client.

Security

Secure your website and give customers peace of mind. We offer multiple tools and products to help you maintain your website's integrity.

Backup

Use our backup tools to ensure you have a current copy of your website to back up or make changes to.
