Signup

  1. The first step will be to select a service. On the Managed WordPress services page, you will be able to select from four options. At the top of the page, you can switch between monthly and annual pricing. Once you have a plan, click Get This.

  2. Now on the purchasing page, you will have six categories to fill out:

    1. Select Product - Make sure the plan you want is selected.

    2. WordPress Installs - How many additional websites, past the initial amount, do you intend to add to the service? Every additional site will be $9.95 a month.

    3. Choose payment method - Select either card or PayPal to pay

    4. Client Information - Fill out your information so we may verify the account belongs to you later. (If you already have an account, click Already registered).

    5. Notes - Feel free to leave any additional information regarding your order.

    6. Terms of Service - Please read through then click the checkbox to agree.

    Before submitting the form, please check that the billing cycle is correct (defaults to monthly). Once everything is all set, click Order.

Once you click 'Order,' you'll be prompted to click the 'Pay Now' button to settle your invoice and get started. Alternatively, you can view and pay your invoices at any time through your Billing Portal: https://portal.bigscoots.com/clientarea/invoices/



Welcome Email & WPO Access

  1. Once your invoice is cleared, you will receive a welcome email from support@bigscoots.com. This email will grant you access to your WPO portal — simply click 'Get Started!' to begin.

  2. You will be directed to a page where you will create a new password for your WPO Portal (you may use the same password as the one during signup). Once entered, click Set Password to continue.
