Why create a NextShopper account?
A NextShopper account is required to buy domains, hosting, email, or SSL, and to manage them later in the client portal. One account stores your invoices, tickets, domains, and services in the same place you used at checkout.
This guide walks you through registration from the public storefront so first-time customers can finish setup without guessing.
Who this guide is for
- New customers who have never used NextShopper
- Anyone who needs a separate billing email for a business or project
Before you start
Prepare:
- A working email address you check regularly (invoices, FOA domain confirmations, and security notices go here).
- A strong unique password you do not reuse on other sites.
- The country that matches your billing location (tax is calculated from billing country).
If you already registered, skip this page and use How to sign in to the client portal.
Step-by-step: create your account
- Open the NextShopper storefront and go to Create account (also labelled Create account in the header on desktop).
- Enter your name exactly as you want it on invoices and the portal profile.
- Enter your email. Double-check spelling—domain FOA and password resets use this address.
- Choose a password, then confirm it in the second field.
- Select your country from the list.
- Submit Create account.
When registration succeeds, you are signed in automatically and redirected to the client portal Home page (/client).
What you should see next
- Portal Home with a greeting and product overview.
- A reminder to verify your email if verification is still pending—follow How to verify your email.
- Empty product lists until you complete a purchase—that is normal.
After account creation
Recommended order for most customers:
- Verify email so notices are delivered.
- Browse Domains or Hosting and complete checkout.
- Return to the portal to manage products under My products.
Optional but recommended: enable two-factor authentication later from Account—see How to enable or disable two-factor authentication.
Common problems
| Problem | What to try |
|---|---|
| Email already taken | Sign in instead, or use Forgot password |
| Password rejected | Use a longer password with mixed characters |
| Page error after submit | Refresh once; if it persists, open a note of the time and use Contact |
| Landed on store, not portal | Open Client portal in the header or go to /client |
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account before searching domains?
You can search publicly, but checkout and portal management require an account.
Can I use a free webmail address?
Yes, as long as you can receive verification and FOA messages. Check spam folders after signup.
Is the account free?
Creating an account does not charge you. You pay only when you place an order.
