Setting Up A New Free Account [resolved] I need help with the new credits system please.

[HappyHippie 0]

Hi, I need some help please I joined a few days ago and got my posts up so I had 30 credits and then I applied for the larger hosting package and got this email.

Hello Happy,

 

Hope your day is going well...

 

About the Hosting Application... Fortunately, or unfortunately, I am sending a PM to advise that you seem to be caught in the middle of a dilemma.

Xisto is presently undergoing a transition from the 'old' system to a 'new' system for Hosting Account approval. A complete re-write, actually...

 

Please check this link : here for details on the new system, which we are calling Credit System 3.0. The new system is similar to the old in that your posts here on the Trap are the basis for obtaining your account, but the handling of the posts is different. Instead of earning Credits towards Hosting, you need to register at the Xisto Billing Centre (with the same email as used here on the Xisto) and each post then earns MyCents, which convert to xistoDollars to pay for your Hosting. There is no other Approval system.

Your best bet for starting out is to obtain a 'monthly' billing cycle until you have sufficient XistoDollars to go to an Annual Billing Cycle.

Due to the newness of the System, etc, there is a time lag for the full effect to hit your account, so go register, wait 5 to 6 hours and then review your account. There should be enough XistoDollars there soon to set-up an account.

 

If you need any more information, or need a hand to select the Account you might need, do not hesitate to start a Topic in the Hosted Members Section and someone will assist you there.

I hope I did that quote right.

 

Anyway I am trying to set up my account and I signed up and used the same email that I have here and then I went to order a package and that is where I am having trouble so anyone that has already set up there new account please can you help me. Ok this is where I'm at. I have an account with the same email then I went to order and it has a dropdown box that says categories linux regular hosting. Do I need to use this? or do I change it to Windows hosting?

And when i click windows hosting it gives me these options Windows Package : WPA - Windows Package : WPB - Windows Package : WPC -

 

But doesnt describe what they are. So can someone please help me and let me know if I have done this right so far and what I need to do next. Thank you much. Happy. =)

Sign-in to your Billing Account.

Select "Order" from the list on the left.

 

To order a Basic, FREE Package:

 

Select the Logic plan. Linux Hosting is recommended. Click to continue. (Most accounts use Linux on the Server.)

Select the third option, to use a Xisto sub-domain. ie: hippie in the first spot, Xisto.com in the second spot. Click to continue.

For a Basic package, choose the space and bandwidth that will suit your needs. The smallest (free) space is 1 Gig and the smallest bandwidth is 10 Gigs.

That should be lots for a starter account.

 

In addition, you will receive :1 MySql Database

1Add-on Domain

5 Parked Domains

5 Sub Domains

Again, lots of features for a starter package.

 

Proceed to the Checkout. Select Paypal for the method of payment to have your account set up using the XistoDollars on your Account. Done.

 

Wait for the Email confirming the Account.

 

Any more questions, please post here in order to keep the information all in one place.

I see that Buffalohelp has now added an information reply for this issue.With graphics and everything. Look in the Hosting Application Forum for an Application that is marked [uPDATED] for the full explanation.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong but it wont let me login can someone help me please or let me know what I am doing wrong or do I need to contact them and make a support ticket? Thanks in advance for your help!

[Running With Scissors 0]

What ever it says in the email should be how you get in. Did you try using your account name and password from here or your password you use to login in to Xisto - Support.com? If none of this works and no one else posts here with a reason why this is happening you should take out a support ticket at Xisto - Support.

[TheDisturbedOne 1]

Use the password that you got and go to:http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ with your username and password. If it doesn't work, go to the support center.

I understand you have not hosted yet (you are displayed as "Newbie" not "Hosted")

So I think what you have to do is to apply at the corner

[HappyHippie 0]

Hmmm Thats weird I dont know why it doesnt say hosted I believe I am I can get to my site now. And I can get in the C-panel I am not sure why it is like that. So far I havent run accross anymore issues but if I do i will post them thanks anyway. =)

[TheDisturbedOne 1]

It is most likely because you are using the new system. Before, you would get the [Hosted] title when Shree or BuffaloHELP approved the application and you received hosting.

I wonder why they gave you a link that doesn't work with your username and password. The link to cpanel is almost always yourdomain.tdl/cpanel. Oh well it's all good now. How are you liking Xisto so far HappyHippie? Edited October 31, 2008 by Running With Scissors (see edit history)

I believe I read somewhere that the [HOSTED] user group will be removed in the new system.

 

The link to cpanel is almost always yourdomain.tdl/cpanel

As far as I know, you can use any of cpanel.domain.ext, domain.ext:2082, and domain.ext/cpanel.
