Ok, so I signed up for an OC5 account on surpass last night. The account was pending until about 1 hour ago (Pacific Time), and I made the index.html page, and it shows something very random, and different. My website is www.simsgalaxy.net , and I don't know why it shows that. Please check what it says, and help!!! Oh, and, it said that before I even bought the hosting, but it was available... what is wrong???And, also, when I go to a site to buy a domain (for example domain.yahoo.com), it sayd that www.simsgalaxy.net is available. Was I supposed to buy a domain name first? If yes, then why didn't anybody say so??? I''m very confused...please help.

simsgalaxy.net is available for registration.
The results you are seeing in your browser are due to redirection via your browsers set up of non existent domains.

Generally, your first step after selecting 'Order Now' will be this link http://www.surpasshosting.com/preordershared.php. You can use this site to register your domain through Surpass http://www.surpassdomains.com/. Once registered, you'll need to change the nameservers to those supplied in your activation email. Due to propagation time, it may take up to 72 hours for you to see your site using http://simsgalaxy.net, in the mean time you can use the link from your activation email that should be something like: http://ip-address/~yourusername

Ok, ThankYou, however do I need to get a domain name with Surpass? I was thinking either Yahoo or GoDaddy...surpass' domain seem a bit expensive. So, after I buy the domain, then what do I do? If I use GD/Yahoo, then I change the nameservers, how? thank you very much.

You can use any registrar you desire.

Each registrar will have their own method of changing the nameservers, so you'll need to look at their FAQ's or How too's.
