# Getting started with your Hosted Plan

1. **You order.** Choose monthly or yearly billing on the product's Hosted Plan tab, choose your web address, and check out.
2. **"We're setting up your site."** Right after your payment we e-mail you to confirm the order. We set your site up by hand, **within 1 business day**. Until then, **My Account → My Hosted Plan** shows the plan as **Awaiting setup**.
3. **"Your Hosted Plan is ready."** When your site is ready we e-mail you:
   - your site's address;
   - the address where you sign in to its admin;
   - your username;
   - a **Set your password** link.

For your security we never send passwords by e-mail. The link works once and for a limited time; if it has expired, reply to the e-mail and we send you a new one.

1. **First sign-in.** Open the Set your password link, choose your password, then sign in at the admin address with your username and that password. Check your business details in the admin settings (name, address, time zone and currency) before you invite your team.
2. **Your web address.** Your site starts on a free temporary address and keeps it until your domain is connected (see "Using your own domain or registering a new one").
