I don't even understand what this is asking me, let alone why. These twitter alternatives really need to get better at frictionless sign up processes if they actually want to get mass adoption.

You just click "next" unless you want to alter it.

But what do I even need a hosting provider for? What am I hosting? I just want to register my username and park it while I never log back in again, I wasn't expecting to have to read or think.

You don't have to think, you just go with the default.

The hosting provider thing is just who is supplying the content to you, you are not hosting anything.

I'll have a code if its still going spare, not sure if there's any advantages to jumping the line or not though?

Waiting in line you could be waiting months. I'll give you my final code - they should give you some codes in about 2 weeks (and they give current users codes as well)
