Create an Account

You must create an account before you can use Cloud. Creating an account creates an organization with a single user. You can sign up using an email address and password, or with a GitHub or Google account to use our Standard or Trial editions.

Whichever sign-up method you use, you are given the choice of creating a free Trial account, or a paid Cloud Standard account. If you would prefer not to share infrastructure with other customers, you can set up a Dedicated account directly with Hazelcast. For further information on the available Cloud editions, see the Hazelcast Cloud section.

By creating an account, you are agreeing to the Cloud Terms of Service and the Hazelcast Privacy Policy. These documents are also available from the sign-up page.

To create a Standard account, complete the following steps:

  1. Open the Cloud sign-up page

  2. Enter the sign-up information for the method you prefer, as follows:

    • Email

    • GitHub

    • Google

    1. Enter your name in the Full Name text box

    2. Enter your email address in the Email text box

    3. Enter the password you want to use when signing in in the Password text box

    4. Select the Create Account button

      A confirmation email is sent to the provided email address.

    5. Select the Verify your email link in the confirmation email to confirm your account

    6. Sign into your account using the credentials you entered during sign up

    If you use this method, you do not create a Cloud password. If you subsequently want to sign in with your email and use MFA in Cloud, you must set a password first. For further information on setting a password, see the Change Password topic.

    1. Select the GitHub button

      If you are not already signed in to your GitHub account, sign in now.

      If you have enabled MFA on your GitHub account, you must confirm your identity using your usual method.

    2. Select the Authorize Hazelcast button

    A confirmation email is sent to your registered email address and the Cloud console displays the Cluster screen ready for you to continue.

    If you use this method, you do not create a Cloud password. If you subsequently want to sign in with your email and use MFA in Cloud, you must set a password first. For further information on setting a password, see the Change Password topic.

    1. Select the Google button

    2. Select the Google account you want to use, or create a Google account

      If you are not already signed in to your Google account, sign in now.

      If you have enabled MFA on your Google account, you must confirm your identity using your usual method.

    The Cloud console displays the Cluster screen ready for you to continue.

Depending on the method you chose, you might be asked for further information. This can include the following:

  • Why you are using Cloud

  • Your role

  • Your organization name

  • Your location

Add Payment Method

Before your cluster can be created, you must add a payment method.

Currently, card payments are the only supported payment method.

Complete the Add Payment Method form as follows:

  1. Enter the full name of the organization in the Full Name / Company text box

  2. Enter the first line of your address in the Address Line 1 text box

  3. Optionally, add the second line of your address in the Address Line 2 (Optional) text box

  4. Enter your country in the Country text box

  5. Enter the city used in your address in the City text box

  6. Enter your post, or zip, code in the Postal Code text box

  7. Enter the long number from your payment card in the Card Number text number

  8. Enter the expiry date from your payment card in the Expiration Date text box

  9. Enter the card verification code from your card in the CVC text box

  10. Select the ADD PAYMENT DETAILS button to save your payment details

Hazelcast uses a third party to store payment details and process payments. Payment details are not stored in Hazelcast.

You can add only one payment method to your account. You can update your payment details at any time.
