Becoming a Member

It is easy to become a member of HotWired. There is no cost or obligation. But we do request that you register with us.

A forms-capable browser is necessary to use the HotWired cyberstation, and to fill out this form. If you need further help, please contact our support staff by email (support@hotwired.com) or by telephone (+1 (415) 222-6300). Please make sure to include your member name in all correspondence with our support staff!

At times other HotWired members will recognize you only by your member name - they won't see your real name - so choose one with care (lowercase only).

Enter your first name:    
Enter your last name:     
Pick a member name:       
Make a password:          
(Type it again to verify) 
Enter your email address: 

We need your email address to confirm the uniqueness of every member. We send a verification "key" to your address when you complete your registration. When you get a verification message (with key) from us in your email box, enter the "key" into the HotWired verification box the next time you visit HotWired. This is the only time you will use this key. REMEMBER: Your Verification number is not your password.

I would also like to receive HotFlash, HotWired's weekly email newsletter about upcoming content, as well as other news of interest to HotWired Members.
