May First members are entitled to as many web sites as are needed for your organizing purposes. Furthermore, members have the ability to create their own additional web sites themselves. Note: if you are interested in adding a second domain to an existing web site, please see our adding a second domain FAQ.
To have a second new web site, you will need to create a new "hosting order." Hosting orders are packages of services which include not only a web site but also separate user logins, email addresses, emai lists, etc.
A hosting order allows you to package all of your related services into a single project.
¶ What's the difference between a hosting order and a membership?
We do ask Members to follow simple criteria for determining when it's appropriate to add a new hosting order to an existing membership and when it's appropriate to request a new membership (requesting a new membership means paying new membership dues).
If the hosting order is for a new project of your organization or is a new personal project (if you have an individual membership), then you should create a new hosting order under your existing membership. On the other hand if the new hosting order's scope lies outside of your organization or (if you have an individual membership) the new hosting order will have significant involvement of people beyond yourself, then please request a new membership instead.
Remember: We are a membership organization, not a service provider. We need new members to grow and thrive. We rely on you, our members, to build our membership.
¶ How do I create a new hosting order?
To create a new hosting order under your existing membership:
- Login to the members control panel.
- Click on your member name in the Breadcrumb:
- If you don't see a link with your Member name, you may not be logging in with a username with appropriate access. Please email support, indicating the member name and the login you are using and we can help you gain access.
- If you see your member name with the word "edit" next to it, then you are already in the right spot
- Select the "Hosting Order" Service
- Click the "New Item" link:
- Fill in the requested information. If you include an email address, the details of the new account, including how to set your password, will be sent to you.
¶ How do I add a web site?
Once you have a hosting order, you can follow our steps to create a web site to finish the project.
