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.

By default, the available resources for a project are 20 instances (servers), 20 vCores (CPU), and 40 GB of RAM. An increase in the resource limit may be requested by submitting a ticket to our Customer Support team.

Congratulations on securing your first public cloud project!
