How do I register with PBase?
There is no cost to create an account and try PBase out for a 30 day trial period, but please read the pricing information if you would like to become a PBase subscriber.
You will need to provide the following information in the registration process:

Email Address
Your email address is used to send your password to you if you should forget it. Your address will not be displayed to other users unless you choose to later by editing your account and adding a public email address. You can also login using your email address instead of your username.

Username
Your username is a unique identifier that you will use to login with. It may be up to 24 characters long but a shorter one will be easier for you. It may consist of letters, numbers, and underscores. Usernames are not case sensitive.

Password
Your password is used to authenticate yourself when logging in. It should not be based on a dictionary word and should include letters,numbers, and other characters for increased security. Passwords are case sensitive which means if you use lowercase or uppercase letters, you must type them in exactly the same way when logging in.

First and Last Name
Your first name and last name are displayed on your PBase pages. They may include lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, and spaces. If this field is left blank, your username will be displayed instead.

Submit a Customer Support request via the button in the left menu. Select Username Change as your category, and follow the instructions from there.

No. You may have only one username per account. But you can have multiple accounts with different usernames. You just need a different valid email address for each one, and you would need to pay for each account separately.
