By the way, these accounts have something called cPanel – it’s a powerful tool for customizing your website, making email addresses, etc. I’m starting work on a FAQ or HOWTO for it for you guys, but a few exist already. cPanel is standard stuff at most webhosting companies, so all their cPanels work the same.
And encypher.it for encrypting the password is a great idea! Don’t worry, I’ll make a strong password, but you can change it when you get it using cPanel. That way, you can feel safer.
