UOL Host SMS Verification

Setting up hosting for a Brazilian site? Clear the UOL Host SMS verification with a virtual number and finish sign-up without tying your personal line to the account.

UOL Host is the hosting and cloud computing brand of UOL (Universo Online), the Brazilian internet content and services company that belongs to Grupo Folha. It brings together website hosting, cloud computing, e-commerce and services for digital businesses, with hosting roots in companies such as Digiweb and CreativeHost that UOL acquired in 2008. Phone verification confirms that a real customer is behind the account.

When signing up with a virtual number, enter it in the form and confirm the code sent by SMS. This is practical for agencies and developers abroad who build a website or online store for the Brazilian market, and for freelancers who open hosting accounts for clients and prefer not to attach their personal number to each one.

A hosting account controls your website and its data, so losing access can mean losing control of the site. Add a permanent e-mail address and a recovery method you control. In Brazil, billing usually asks for a CPF or CNPJ tax number; complete those steps with your own genuine details.
