In this post, I will be showing how to create New Hotmail account. To sign up for an email account on Hotmail can be confusing especially if you are a newbie on the platform. Hotmail was purchased by Outlook.com in 2013, a company owned by Microsoft. Ever since then, there have been some upgrades in the system. This means Hotmail.com have been integrated with Outlook.com. But you can still create your own new email account. All you need to do is go to the official website – www.hotmail.com or www.outlook.com and check out for the Hotmail registration page. Open it and fill it correctly by entering your basic required information by following the instructions on the screen. Learn the easy steps to get one.
