Hostly concepts behind this task
Create your account
Choose Sign up and enter the account information requested by Hostly. Use an email address you can access, because verification and account recovery rely on it.
Verify your email
Open the verification message from Hostly and follow its link to confirm the address. If the message is missing, check spam or junk folders and confirm that the address was entered correctly.
Finish your profile
Add the basic profile information that helps friends and event guests recognize you. You can update your name, photo, and planning preferences later from people settings.
Join from an invitation
If you arrived through an invitation link, return to it after signing in so Hostly can connect the event to your account. Some invitations also support a guest response without completing a full account first.
Find your way around
Home shows your available events, Search helps locate a specific plan, Calendar view organizes events by date, and the notification center keeps recent activity together.
Recover account access
Use Forgot password from sign in when you cannot access the account. Follow the reset message, create a new password, and then return to Hostly with the same email address.

Quick answers
