How do I get my own Blastoff URL?
by Duane on Nov.02, 2009, under Getting Started
So, you just joined Blastoff, and now you want to get your friends to join too.
How do I sign up my friends without giving their email?
- Just give them your new, custom URL from Blastoff.
Ok, What is it?
- Let me show you!
I see this question come up a lot with new Blasters. It’s one of those things that’s simple once you know how, but confusing until when you’re confused.
Blastoff refers to your unique part of the Blastoff URL as the sitename. Although you may not remember, everyone picks their sitename when setting up a new Blastoff account. If you haven’t done this yet, you should read the join Blastoff page to see if it’s a fit for you.
So, here’s how to get your sitename and unique signup URL after you’ve already joined.
- Log into your Blastoff account here: http://my.blastoffnetwork.com/login
- You will see four columns. The first has your picture (if it’s published), the second has links to make purchases, and the third has your account links. In this third column, click on Account Settings
- On this page, you will see a form to update your account settings. Look at the setting called Sitename. This is what you need.
- Your custom URL is going to be http://my.blastoffnetwork.com/sitename
- Just replace the sitename in that link with your own custom Sitename you saw in your Blastoff Network account settings.
Another tip: If you login to your Blastoff Network page and then logout, you should be automatically redirected to your own custom URL. Here, you can see and copy your custom URL from the address bar in your browser.
If this confuses you, I instead recommend following the steps above, and then you’ll be ready to tell everyone about the money they can save with Blastoff Network!

I am having problems accessing any login pages or blastoff pages. we initialized our webpage by becomming a part of prepaid legal. we set up our blastoff account and built our page. I wanted to check on it today and share it with a potential client and I cannot access any login or other pages for blastoff. this is what the error message says when I try to use any links to get to my page including the links to the login from your site.
Server not found
Firefox can’t find the server at my.blastoffnetwork.com.
* Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
http://www.example.com
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
Note from me:
Nothing has changed with my network and I am able to access other unrelated sites. So I am not understanding the inability to access my blastoff/
please help.

Blastoff has been having DNS issues lately, so a lot of peoples’ sites were down. I’m not a part of Blastoff, but they’ve reported this on their tech site: http://www.getsatisfaction.com/blastoff
Hopefully it will be straight for you soon, if not already. Mine is up and running. If you have any problems, I suggest emailing them at customerservice@blastoffnetwork.com
