It takes just minutes to sign-up for a MODOcms account. The easy 5-step registration process will have you and your website up and running in about 15 minutes.

Your MODOcms subscription must be paid with a valid credit card which will be charged when you complete the registration, so make sure you have your card handy before starting.

Follow the steps below to sign-up and register for your MODO account and website:

Click the green Sign up button or go to:

MODOcms will then guide you through the following five steps:

STEP 1

Choose a domain name. The domain name is what a visitor will type into their web browser address bar to reach your site. There are three options for registering a domain name for your MODO site:

Option 1
You can register a new domain (e.g. mysite.com) by typing it in the space provided at the top of the Sign up screen, selecting I want to register a domain, then clicking [Continue].
Modo will check to see if the domain is available and register it on your behalf as part of the set up process. If the domain name is available, you’re on to Step 2. If it’s not, you’ll need to try a different one.

Option 2
If you already own a domain name and want to use it for your MODOcms site, type it in the space provided at the top of the Sign up screen, select I own the domain, then click [Continue].

You will need to update your domain’s DNS servers to the following in order for it to work with your MODOcms site:

ns1.2eleven.ca
ns2.2eleven.ca

Click here for more information on how to update your DNS servers, or contact your domain registrar for help.

Option 3
You can register a MODOcms sub-domain by typing the name of your site (e.g. mysite) in the space provided at the top of the Sign up screen, selecting I would like MYSITE.mymodo.com (this is how your site name will appear in browser address bars), then clicking [Continue].

If you choose this option, you will not own the primary domain name. For example, if the name of your company is ABC Widgets, and you register your site as abcwidgets.mymodo.com, someone else could still register abcwidgets.com.

STEP 2

Select a MODOcms Package. You can choose between MODO Mini, De-Luxe or Custom. You can review the different package specifications here.

You can choose MODO Mini or De-Luxe by selecting a monthly or annual billing from the Billing Cycle drop-down menu, then clicking [Select].

Note: You'll receive two free months by choosing the annual billing option.

If you’re looking for a unique online presence with advanced design features and functionality, you’ll want to explore the MODO Custom option. If this is the case, click [Learn More] below the Custom option to access the MODO Custom page. The page features a showcase of custom MODO websites, as well as a contact form you can use to reach a MODO design specialist, who will work with you to design and build a fully-customized website.

Some customization is also available with MODO De-luxe via optional upgrade items. Contact us for more information.

STEP 3

Select a MODOcms Theme. You can preview any of the available themes by clicking on the thumbnail images. Select a theme for your website by clicking [Select] beneath it.

Once your website is set up, you can switch themes anytime you want by selecting Preferences.

Many themes are available and the list of new styles is growing.

STEP 4

Account & Payment Information. Complete all the required fields in the Personal Information, Account Information and Credit Card Information sections (MODOcms subscriptions require a valid credit card).
You'll need to agree to the Terms of Service at the bottom of the page by checking the box next to I have read and agree with the Modo Terms of Service.

Click [Continue].

STEP 5

Confirm Order. The last registration screen will give you a chance to review all of your order and set up information before confirming and submitting your payment.

Please review everything carefully. You can make changes to your registration information by clicking the [Edit] button next next to the relevant section.

Click [Confirm]. This will finalize your order, charge your credit card with the subscription fee and create your MODOcms account.
