EAPH Sign Up Page

$8.00 per month for 50MB of storage, enough for about a 1000 pictures and can be increased at no cost (see the Price and Service page), use of iDrive to upload, optimize, and manage your photos as well as create professional photo presentations using the Plugins! suite of tools. Convenient use with FreeForm or the Template Helper to create eBay item descriptions, About Me pages, eBay Store Custom Pages, and even web pages published in your own WWW web space.

There really is no risk. If you are not satisfied just send an email to rob@robshelp.com, including your EAPH member name, your EAPH password, and your desire to cancel. If you were unable to use the service for any reason, please also request a refund of your most recent payment.

Please follow the steps below to get started today...

Signing up constitutes your agreement to the Terms of Service. EAPH is operated with a focus on community and a commitment to offering a stable, reliable, and continuing hosting service for its members. The resources consumed by individual members are monitored and if any usage constitutes any kind of threat to the general performance of the service or any kind of threat to the financial viability of the service then individual membership is subject to suspension or termination. Friendly, personalized help will be offered to bring resource consumption, particularly bandwidth, in line with that of a typical individual online auction seller and/or the option will be offered to restructure monthly payments to avoid termination. Bandwidth consumption comes under review when at any time it exceeds 1 Gigabyte (1024 Megabytes) per day.

That said, there has not yet been any circumstance that has resulted in any deliberate interruption of service to any EAPH member other than by their having chosen to cancel and even then a waiting period ensues and a backup is performed before files are removed.

The member name you specify will appear in picture URLs like this:

http://MemberName.eaph.com

(depending on server may be eaph2.com, eaph3.com, etc...)

People will be able to see your member name in URLs, but they probably won't care to look, so it's best to keep it as simple as possible for yourself. Lots of members just use the first part of their email address (the part before the @) or their eBay ID. It's a hassle changing your member name later so think carefully.

Although non-alphabet non-number characters are not allowed such as blank spaces or dashes, you can mix caps such as "DadsPawnShop".

Determine a password to use. Choose it wisely -- you and you alone are responsible for the content placed in your eaph.com web space protected by the password. The safest passwords are those that can't be found in a dictionary or be derived from your name. Mix in numbers, punctuation, and special characters.

Do not use your eBay or PayPal password!!

READ THIS FIRST: How Subscriptions work at PayPal The PayPal account for EAPH.com is the same as for RobsHelp.com and, because PayPal does not provide for both to appear as a business name, only RobsHelp.com will appear on statements within your PayPal account and on your credit card statements! Upon completion of the initial payment your PayPal activity will include a line that looks close to this: File Type To/From Name/Email Amount($) Date Status Action   Subscription Creation To EAPH.com Hosting (may say RobsHelp.com) 8.00 Nov 5, 2002 Active   and will remain within your PayPal history easily found by selecting to search for "Subscriptions".  Within the sample line above you'll notice the "Active" link.  In your PayPal account this is where you click to control the subscription including the ability to cancel it and change the funding method. IMPORTANT: You need to click that link in PayPal to select your desired backup funding method!  When a monthly payment goes through it will be deducted from your PayPal balance.  If your PayPal balance is insufficient at that time then your checking account may be debited.  You may instead, for example, want that payment to be charged to a credit card. You may visit this page: What is PayPal? to learn more about how PayPal protects your account information when making online purchases.  Robshelp.com (rob@robshelp.com) is PayPal Verified since February 09, 2000.

Use this form to sign up via PayPal:

Enter the Member Name you desire:	(see Step 2 above) Tip - Use caps to define words, for example: "DadsPawnShop". Or, use the first part of your email address, for example: "RobBellJr" (of RobBellJr@robshelp.com), or your eBay ID.
Enter your desired Password:	Do not use your eBay or PayPal password!
Your Name (optional):	(It's better if we know you by name)
Then, click on the PayPal SUBSCRIBE button to submit:	The PayPal Subscribe button to the left takes you to PayPal where, after logging in, you are provided the opportunity to choose your funding method and approve (or abort) the creation of your new subscription. IMPORTANT: The process of setting up a new membership is not automatic and usually takes no more than a few hours but may take up to 24 to complete. When your new webspace is ready a welcome email will be sent to the email address you use with PayPal. You may receive an email from PayPal too but the email you are looking for, that contains specific access instructions, will be from rob@robshelp.com. (please be patient, thanks!)

That's all there is to it - PayPal will send us an email notifying that there is a new subscription and your membership will be set up on the EAPH servers. When your hosting is ready a Welcome email will be sent to your PayPal email address.
