Create a MySpace Account

MySpace is one of the most popular websites around the world. You can connect and chat with people, advertise, upload pictures and videos, and more. This article will explain how to create a Myspace account.

Steps

  1. Make sure you have a valid e-mail address. This can either be your regular one or an address that you use for junk/spam mail. Also make sure that your e-mail address does not block "myspace.com". If you do not have an e-mail account that is valid, go to Yahoo or Google and get yourself one.
  2. Go to MySpace's homepage. You'll see a box in the upper right hand corner. Click on the orange button that says "Sign Up".
  3. Provide information about yourself on the next page. Please be aware that you can only create an account if you are 14 years of age or older. If you are younger than 14 and reported, your account will be terminated/deleted. These are the items you'll need to provide: Valid e-mail address, First and Last name, Country, Postal Code, Password, Gender, and Date of Birth.
  4. Type in the specific captcha in the box. Because of the captcha, auto bots can not create an account because the code needs to be input manually and in a certain time limit. It is basically a bot check. It checks to see if a computer or human is signing up for a new Myspace account.
  5. Click on the "Skip For Now" links if you don't wish to invite others or add a profile photo at the moment. Both options are available anytime.
  6. Search for MySpace wikiHow articles on further information and steps about customizing pages, the features, and functions on the site.



Tips

  • If you do not want your family or parents to look you up, then do not use any of your real information like name. Make stuff up, but be sure that you write it down somewhere.
  • Don't put profanity or obscene photos (like middle fingers) if you are connected to someone that would notify your parents about it. Yes, you might think it's "cool" but it makes you look stupid
  • If you are 14 or 15 years old, your profile will be automatically private to anyone that is 16 and older but available to view for 14 & 15 years. If you are caught going around this rule by giving out false information to have a public profile, it can be reported. And another thing, it is a lot safer to wait until you are 16 or older to get an Myspace account, since pedophiles and other scary people are more likely to stalk you at 14 and one week past your birthday than a person who is closer to adulthood. Also, psychologically, 14 and 15 year old does not have that sense of danger developed and they are more likely to do stupid stuff on Myspace at that age.
  • You can only use your existing Myspace account. If you want another one, but don't want to delete it, you'll need another e-mail address.
