How do I create a SharePoint site?

The following article explains how to create a SharePoint site. Before a SharePoint site can be created, a domain must be added for the customers domain name and a SharePoint user must be created. Once created, the user can log into the SharePoint site and begin creating a SharePoint portal.

To create a SharePoint site, please follow these steps:

1. Open a browser window and go to www.HostMySite.com
2. Click on Control Panel Login.
3. Log into the Control Panel as the Account Administrator and select the appropriate domain.
4. Click Hosted Exchange & SharePoint.
5. Find the domain name and click Manage.
6. From the Main Menu, click sharePoint Sites.
7. Click Add.
8. Enter the requested information:
   • Plan: the plan type the customer requested
   • Site Name: a name for the SharePoint site that will be displayed when a user logs into SharePoint
   • Title: a title for the SharePoint site
   • Description: a description for the SharePoint site
   • Web Template: a visual template for the SharePoint site
   • Owner: the user responsible for the SharePoint site
   • Sub Domain: the host name for the SharePoint site, must be based on the domain name
   
9. Click Add.

If the DNS records for the domain name are hosted with HostMySite.com, a DNS record for the SharePoint will be created automatically based on the Sub Domain information entered.
