Overview

Before you can deploy a CPU Pod you need an ALYPOD Cloud account. Registration takes a few minutes and gives you access to the ALYPOD Console and the billing area at account.alypod.com.

Before you begin

• A valid email address you can access immediately.
• A payment method (card, PayPal or account credit) for your first order.
• Your legal name and address for the invoice.

Steps

1. Open account.alypod.com and click Register.
2. Enter your name, email address and a strong password, then submit the form.
3. Check your inbox for a verification message and click the confirmation link. If it does not arrive, check your spam folder.
4. Complete your profile: address, country and phone number. These details appear on your invoices.
5. Choose how you want to pay — add a card or PayPal agreement, or add funds to your account credit balance.
6. Optionally enable two-factor authentication now (Account → Security).
7. Open the ALYPOD Console from the top navigation to deploy your first Pod.

Troubleshooting

• Problem: The verification email never arrives. Solution: Check spam, then use the Resend verification link on the login page.
• Problem: Registration is rejected. Solution: Make sure the email is not already registered and that your address matches your payment method.
