NOTE: As part of our anti-fraud check, the "Order summary" page lists a $0.99 charge for the first project added to an account. The charge will be a credit that gets applied to your first bill. Any additional projects added to an account will not incur this initial charge and will simply be charged according to resource consumption.

Click Continue to proceed with your order.
