Normal Signup Script For Customers

The Auto-Signup script means that your customers will have to pay before their account is generated. This might not be ideal for some of your customers (for instance, the ones paying by bank transfer or cheque), or those that have signed up for free accounts. In these instances, it may be preferable to use the normal signup script. Helm creates a HTML form you can place on your site and use to automatically signup customers. If using this feature sounds attractive to you, please read on because there are a couple of caveats.

The first caveat is that users who signup through the signup script are assigned a random username that’s a combination of the prefix you define in the user settings and an incremented number. The second caveat is that once a user signs up using the signup script, they still need to login to the control panel, pay their bill using a specified payment gateway, and then setup their domain. While this process isn’t exactly complicated, less knowledgeable Internet users may find the process overwhelming to start with.
