00:00:49,220 --> 00:00:53,100
If you want to get set up to resell hosting to your clients Let's check it out.

11
00:00:54,220 --> 00:00:55,710
Just like in the last video.

12
00:00:55,750 --> 00:00:58,950
Let's start by going to the student dot W.P..

13
00:00:59,020 --> 00:01:06,220
Of course dot com resources page and that's available if you click the link at the top or the button

14
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,950
as you scroll down from the home page down here.

15
00:01:11,170 --> 00:01:17,110
Just click resource page and on this page as you scroll down just a little bit there is a link to the

16
00:01:17,110 --> 00:01:25,090
flywheel sign up page and the promotional code that I mentioned before is right down here.

17
00:01:25,090 --> 00:01:32,770
You can use that later click the flywheel link and you'll go to a flywheel Sign-Up page exclusive to

18
00:01:32,770 --> 00:01:34,360
this course.

19
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:41,100
I've already filled out some of the fields right here clicked the Agree button and then I clicked sign

20
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:42,390
up.

21
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:50,060
I was taken then to a page with a welcome video where I already had an active account.

22
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:56,460
Go ahead and take those steps for yourself and once you have an active account at flywheel you'll also

23
00:01:56,460 --> 00:02:02,760
see that you have a welcome email inside of your e-mail account that gives you a little bit of information

24
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,710
with your username and your e-mail you've used and a log in page.

25
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:14,940
Again like the site Ground account I'll bookmark this log in page which is app dot get flywheel dot

26
00:02:14,940 --> 00:02:19,620
com and that way it's easy to get back to in the future.

27
00:02:19,620 --> 00:02:25,920
Back inside of the browser there's one more step you need to take to activate your site and be able

28
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:31,650
to set up a new demo site and that is to verify your account.

29
00:02:31,650 --> 00:02:39,240
If you just click new site you'll see that you'll get to a create a new WordPress site page but don't

30
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:46,350
start filling in the wordpress site details just yet you can click here verify your account now button

31
00:02:46,410 --> 00:02:47,700
right here.

32
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:54,850
Or if you go up under your profile dropdown you can click verify account here.

33
00:02:54,870 --> 00:03:02,560
There you'll be able to go and verify with a text message to your phone or you can enter a credit card.

34
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:05,660
I'm going to verify with a text message and you can do the same.

35
00:03:05,700 --> 00:03:11,310
Just place your phone number right in there and click send code and it will give you a message.

36
00:03:11,310 --> 00:03:13,150
Verification has been sent.

37
00:03:13,290 --> 00:03:16,940
And then you just enter the six digit code that they send to your phone.

38
00:03:16,980 --> 00:03:25,760
Straight in here and click verify I'm going to enter my six digit code.

39
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:32,410
It came in about two seconds straight to my phone and now my accounts been verified.

40
00:03:32,430 --> 00:03:38,160
So that means if I want to roll over and click the new site button I'm right here on the create a new

41
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:44,380
WordPress site page and I can go down and start entering some site details.

42
00:03:44,940 --> 00:03:48,920
I'm just going to enter a few details in here.

43
00:03:48,930 --> 00:03:52,280
Pause the video and I'll start it back up when I'm ready.

44
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:58,410
I chose a username for my wordpress site that I would remember and a password that I put in twice that

45
00:03:58,410 --> 00:04:00,690
I need to remember as well.

46
00:04:00,690 --> 00:04:06,720
Also you can choose your own temporary domain and it'll be whatever you put a place here.

47
00:04:06,730 --> 00:04:09,330
Dot flywheel sites dot com.

48
00:04:09,330 --> 00:04:15,210
That can be the domain you use to do your course work and to set up a site before you have a real domain

49
00:04:15,420 --> 00:04:16,630
pointed to the site.

50
00:04:17,070 --> 00:04:22,980
As you scroll down you'll see that you can pay now or you can add it to a book plan if you have one

51
00:04:23,170 --> 00:04:23,960
where you can click.

52
00:04:23,970 --> 00:04:25,930
My client will pay later.

53
00:04:26,130 --> 00:04:29,090
I'll just scroll to the bottom and click launch a demo site

54
00:04:33,490 --> 00:04:37,710
and it really only took a few seconds for this site to be created for me.

55
00:04:37,810 --> 00:04:45,160
You can see that it says I have 61 days left at the top of my dashboard for this site and it is password

56
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:51,640
protected and that just means when someone tries to browse to this domain right here they're going to

57
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:57,940
be asked for a username and password and they use an interesting memorable password system.

58
00:04:57,940 --> 00:04:59,350
Mine is aquatic.

59
00:04:59,380 --> 00:05:02,780
News at this point and that can be changed.

60
00:05:02,860 --> 00:05:10,020
The user name is always flywheel and so all I have to do is go up here and click WordPress log in and

61
00:05:10,030 --> 00:05:11,850
that will open up a new tab.

62
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:17,970
And this is a browser authentication that flywheel places just as an additional layer of protection.

63
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:23,820
Or so you can hide your development site while it's being made from clients or anyone else.

64
00:05:23,860 --> 00:05:31,360
I know that the user name is flywheel and this is where that memorable password comes in handy

65
00:05:35,230 --> 00:05:41,390
because if you don't remember it you can't go back to a previous tab when you're using browser authentication.

66
00:05:41,410 --> 00:05:43,490
And so I remember that password and it all hit.

67
00:05:43,570 --> 00:05:47,540
OK I can have my browser remember that for future use.

68
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,030
And now I'm at the standard WordPress log in page.

69
00:05:51,370 --> 00:05:59,310
I can put my user name that I chose along with my memorable password that I picked and click loggin

70
00:05:59,930 --> 00:06:02,690
I'll have the browser remember that password as well.

71
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:09,430
And there I am that great feeling comes over me when I get a new fresh WordPress installation started

72
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:10,450
again.

73
00:06:10,540 --> 00:06:17,310
We've got the welcome to WordPress standard message that I can dismiss by clicking at the top right.

74
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:23,510
And if I go over to plugins installed plugins just like we did before.

75
00:06:23,570 --> 00:06:30,580
There's no standard plug ins loaded inside of your demo sites but I will take those couple of steps

76
00:06:30,580 --> 00:06:33,660
that we did with our new site ground site in the last video.

77
00:06:33,910 --> 00:06:39,070
And if you'd like Pazz the video now and go ahead and make those steps yourself.

78
00:06:40,770 --> 00:06:46,590
I hope you could remember those little changes that we made to set up our site for development in the

79
00:06:46,590 --> 00:06:47,610
last video.

80
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,920
But I'll show you what I always do.

81
00:06:49,930 --> 00:06:56,260
I'll go into settings general and then I'll just name the site if I want to.

82
00:06:56,260 --> 00:07:02,950
I call that flywheel in the setup so that was OK just another WordPress site is the standard tagline

83
00:07:03,340 --> 00:07:12,080
and I'll just type experimentation as I usually do and the addresses are there.

84
00:07:12,130 --> 00:07:18,880
We'll scroll down a little bit further and I'll choose my own time zone and I'll go to the bottom and

85
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,890
click save changes in the general settings.

86
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:28,360
Then I go to the media settings and always uncheck this organize my uploads into month and year based

87
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:33,780
folders box so that I can upload my files while developing a site all into the same folder.

88
00:07:35,570 --> 00:07:42,530
Grade the last one is permalink and I click Post name because that is the best Ezio.

89
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:48,770
And it's just a habit of mine to create that from the very beginning and I'll click save changes.

90
00:07:48,860 --> 00:07:55,340
Now there's one more plug in that's permanently installed inside of flywheel sites which is called limit

91
00:07:55,340 --> 00:07:56,390
log in attempts.

92
00:07:56,450 --> 00:07:58,110
Let's just check it out.

93
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:03,110
What we'll do is look at the limit log in attempts settings just so we know what they do.

94
00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:10,100
Basically this is a security protection that prevents brute force attacks from using up your bandwidth

95
00:08:10,220 --> 00:08:15,260
and slowing down your sites that are at a managed WordPress host like flywheel.

96
00:08:15,410 --> 00:08:22,130
So it only allows four times before the 20 minute lockout occurs.

97
00:08:22,610 --> 00:08:29,600
And then you can only have four lockouts and then you'll be increased to 24 hours of lockouts.

98
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,000
And so this is a good standard setting to leave.

99
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,120
You don't have to change the options right here.

100
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,880
But it's good to know that this exists in the flywheel sites.

101
00:08:38,270 --> 00:08:38,930
Well that's it.

102
00:08:38,930 --> 00:08:44,480
A nice fresh WordPress installation to start learning development or creating a new site.

103
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:45,350
Let's check it out.

104
00:08:45,350 --> 00:08:47,090
I'll roll over flywheel.

105
00:08:47,090 --> 00:08:52,600
The title of the site and right click visit site and open it in a new tab.

106
00:08:52,610 --> 00:08:56,190
Now if I look at it this is my site.

107
00:08:56,300 --> 00:08:57,300
Great.

108
00:08:57,350 --> 00:09:03,110
One of the things I like to do as well that we didn't talk about in the last video is to get rid of

109
00:09:03,110 --> 00:09:10,370
this WordPress admin bar so that I can really see what the site looks like to visitors without having

110
00:09:10,370 --> 00:09:12,920
that loggin admin bar at the top here.

111
00:09:13,190 --> 00:09:19,160
To do that go back into the Wordpress dashboard and under users click your profile.

112
00:09:19,250 --> 00:09:25,860
You can also get there from rolling over your name up here and clicking at it my profile what I'll do

113
00:09:25,860 --> 00:09:33,780
is just uncheck the show toolbar when viewing site checkbox and then I'll update my profile there.

114
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:40,710
Now when I go back to the live site and click refresh or reload that's what the site really looks like

115
00:09:40,860 --> 00:09:42,660
to visitors at this point.

116
00:09:44,410 --> 00:09:50,080
In this video you sign up for the excellent managed WordPress host flywheel where you get an exclusive

117

manually by hosting WordPress on your local computer.

126
00:10:31,990 --> 00:10:33,220
connection at all.

127
00:10:33,220 --> 00:10:33,750
See there
