Starting today every WebAsyst hosted account subscriber can select a unique name that will be used to identify his/her account. The name will be used as a 3-rd level domain name and will allow you and other users to access your WebAsyst account by typing address of the form:

http://[YOUR_NAME].webasyst.net

[YOUR_NAME] in the address line is a meaningful and easy to remember unique identifier. It could be your personal name (e.g john), family name (e.g johnson) if you share an account family members, or your company name (e.g. mycompany) for your corporate account:

Creating a name during new account registration
The account name is selected during the registration process:

This will automatically create http://mycompany.webasyst.net. By typing this URL in the address line, an account user will be taken to the login page, where he/she can access the account by entering his/her username and password.

Creating a name for existing accounts
Current WebAsyst hosted account subscribers will be offered to select a name and create an address to access an account right after they login to WebAsyst. A name will not replace a database key, but will allow an existing user to log in to his/her account by typing corresponding address. If an account subscriber chooses to login using a pre-assigned database key, he/she can still do it in a standard login form accessed from WebAsyst main website.

Why use a name for your account?
You can create multiple accounts, each with a familiar, easy to remember name representing your personal area on the Web. Database key is not needed anymore. You are providing users and subscribers with a friendly access to your account. While a database key can be easily lost or forgotten, a web address with a meaningful name is less likely to forget: it can be added to your browser’s “Favorites” area and accessed instantly by friends and colleagues.

It is best to create the name for your account as soon as possible, because somebody else may reserve your name before you do. Don’t loose your chance to have an account with an easy to remember name of your choice!
