A simplified version of these instructions can be found in the article Getting Started – Customer Account.

If you are dealing with a login problem to your customer account, follow the instructions in Administration – Login Problems.

In this article, you will learn:


Creating a customer account

To create a new customer account, we require:

  • A functional e-mail address, which also serves as the login name. We also send password recovery instructions to this e-mail address in case the password is lost.
  • A phone number capable of receiving SMS messages. We verify your identity by phone if you do not have access to the login e-mail. 

Creating and maintaining a customer account is free of charge. 

If you want to store credit in your account for paying for services, create a Credit Account for your customer account.

Create a new customer account via the registration form ⧉.

For registration, you can: 

Shared registration

If you have an account with Facebook, Google, MojeID, or LinkedIn, you can register with WEDOS quickly through them. In the login form, click the icon of the selected service and then follow its instructions.

Registration form

You can also create a new customer account by filling in the registration form:

  1. Carefully fill in the required details (marked with a red asterisk) and tick the mandatory consents.
  2. Complete the reCaptcha check.
  3. Click the Create account button.

As part of the registration, you also enter a password. It must meet the following requirements:

  • length of at least 8 characters and at most 50 characters
  • contains at least one lowercase letter, at least one uppercase letter, at least one digit, and at least one of the following special characters: !\"#()+,-./:;<=>?@[]^_`{|}~*
  • does not contain these strings: 12345, aaaaa, admin, heslo, passwd, password

You can generate a secure password by clicking the key icon in the Password field.

After the account is created, the system will prompt you to verify the entered phone number. Enter the verification SMS code, or postpone verification for later.

If everything is in order, the system creates a new account and sends you an e-mail with further instructions from the address wedos@wedos.com, thereby also verifying the functionality of the e-mail address. 

Activate the account by clicking the link in the e-mail (https://login.wedos.com/activate/…).

If the e-mail with instructions does not arrive within 10 minutes, check the SPAM folder. If there is a typo in the e-mail address, create a new customer account with the correct address. 

After activating the account, log in. If you postponed SMS verification during registration, the system will send a verification SMS to the phone number entered during registration.

If the message does not arrive, have it resent, or change the phone number via the link.

Common problems

Common issues with a customer account include:

Incorrectly entered e-mail or phone

Problem: I have a typo in the registration e-mail address or phone number.

Solution: If there is a typo in the e-mail, create a new account with the correct address. If there is a typo in the phone number, postpone its verification until after authorization, where you will be able to correct the phone number.

Verification SMS does not arrive

Problem: The phone number is definitely correct, but the verification SMS does not arrive.

Cause: The most common cause is blocking by the operator or the (smart) phone.

Solution: On a smartphone, try temporarily switching to a different SMS client. If that does not help, contact support.

Forgotten login details

Problem: We forgot the login name and/or password.

Solution: Support can help you with the login name; write via the form and ask for assistance. Include the services that should be present in your account.

You can change the password at this link ⧉.

More detailed help can be found in the article Administration – Login Problem Solving.

Services are not visible in the account

Problem: After logging in, we do not see our services in the list.

Cause: Common causes include:

  • You are checking services of the wrong type
  • The services are:
    • deleted
    • in a different account
    • with another provider

Solution: Make sure you are viewing the correct list (for example, Domains, not Webhosting). If so, and you still do not see the services, ask customer support ⧉ to check it. Include the service names.

The account owner has died

Problem: We want to take over the account and the services in it as part of probate proceedings.

Solution: In the event of the account owner’s death (e.g. the domain holder, the ordering party of Webhosting, or another service), these services need to be included in the inheritance proceedings. Only on the basis of a valid inheritance decision can we transfer the services or make them accessible to the new authorized person.

If you are unsure whether the given domain, hosting, or other service actually belonged to the deceased, or whether you are its rightful heir, do not hesitate to contact us first. Based on the information you provide, we will check what services were assigned to that account and inform you of the next steps before you possibly open probate proceedings.

To resolve such a situation, please contact us via the contact form ⧉ – in the message, describe the situation and provide as much information as possible about the services this may concern. Colleagues from the authorization department will check the status of the account and services and get back to you at the provided e-mail with further instructions.
