3. Fill out the order form and choose your domain.
How to choose the domain:
Under "Prefered Domain" you will have to to start the wizard to determine the domain you will use to access the system. This will be a private URL (link) to access the system that will not be visible to the public.
If you want to use your own domain name, e.g. if your school domain is myschool.org and you want to use something like mms.myschool.org or ibeams.myschool.org you can choose this option.
You will need access to your domain control panel, zone editor or DNS manager to set up this option.
If you prefer to use the free domain where there's no additional steps required, you can choose the free domain. Type in the free subdomain you will use and if it's available, you can click on where it will confirm the Domain for you to choose by clicking on .
4. Once you've placed the order, you will immediately get an email on the registered email you specified in the order form with setup instructions and more. This email is important for the next part of the setup.
Check your inbox for the email subject line: "IBEAMS set up instructions and order completion"
In this email, you will receive 3 steps to have your IBEAMS up and running:
Step 1: Make the first payment or setup Direct Debit in order to continue.
Step 2: If you chose to use your own domain name, make the neccessary changes to your DNS to access the system. This step is required before you go to step 3. If you chose to use the free domain, you can skip to step 3.
Step 3: Launch the server and set up IBEAMS files and database. Once this is done, you can then login and start importing the data for your school and start using the system.
