Set Up Your Hosting Account
Before LocalTrust Digital begins your website project, you may need to create a hosting account. Hosting is where your website files live, and keeping the hosting account in your name helps you maintain ownership of billing, renewals, and long-term access.
Watch the guide below to learn how to set up your Hostinger hosting account. You can pause the video at any time while completing each step.
