Summary: How to sign up for VPSDime, either from the sign-up page or while checking out, with email/password or with Google/GitHub.

## What this is

How to create a VPSDime account, either up front on the sign-up page or as part of placing your first order. Create one at https://vpsdime.com/register.

## Steps

**On the sign-up page**
1. Open the **Register / Sign Up** page.
2. Either click **Sign in with Google / GitHub** to create your account from that profile (no password to set), or fill in your details and choose a password.
3. Accept the Terms of Service and complete the **"verify you're human"** check, then submit.

**During checkout (in the cart)**
1. At checkout you'll see a **New client** / **Existing client** toggle.
2. Choose **New client** and either use **Sign in with Google / GitHub** or fill in your details, then continue your order.
3. Choose **Existing client** instead if you already have an account, and sign in.

## What you'll see

- **On the sign-up page:** Google and GitHub buttons at the top, then **Personal Information** (first and last name, optional company, email, and a password with a strength meter) and a **Billing Address** (street, city, state/region, postcode, country, phone). At the bottom, a **"verify you're human"** check (a small Cloudflare box that usually clears itself), the **Terms of Service** checkbox, and a **Register** button.
- If you start with Google/GitHub, the form pre-fills and shows **"Continuing as you@example.com. Verified via Google. No password needed."** A small ✕ on that banner lets you switch back to using a password instead.
- In the cart, the **New client / Existing client** toggle sits above the form so you can flip between signing up and signing in.

## Troubleshooting

- **"A user already exists with that email address."** You already have an account. Head to [Signing in](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/account/signing-in) (or use [Google/GitHub](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/account/sign-in-with-google-or-github)) instead of creating a new one. Forgotten the password? Reset it from the sign-in page.
- **"This email address is registered as a sign-in contact on another customer's account."** That email is set up as a login contact under a different account. Sign in with your existing credentials, or contact us if you've lost access.
- **The "verify you're human" check won't complete.** Try a different browser, or disable a VPN/ad-blocker that may be blocking it, then submit again.
- **It won't accept my password.** Choose a stronger one (longer, mixed characters). Very weak passwords are rejected at sign-up.
