Create Your Account and Verify Email
Overview
There are two ways to create a CloudAIPilot account: with an email address and password, or via an existing Google or GitHub account. Both methods give you access to the same full platform.
Method 1: Email and password
- Go to cloudaipilot.com and click Sign up.
- Fill in the signup form:
- First name
- Last name
- Email address
- Password — minimum 8 characters
- Click Create account.
- Check your inbox for a verification email from CloudAIPilot and click the link inside.
- Once verified you are taken directly to the dashboard. Your first organization is created automatically.
If the verification email does not arrive within a few minutes, check your spam or promotions folder. You can also sign in with your credentials and CloudAIPilot will offer to resend the verification link.
Method 2: Google or GitHub (sign in with OAuth)
- On the sign-up page, click Continue with Google or Continue with GitHub.
- Approve the permissions on the provider's screen.
- You are taken directly to the dashboard. No separate email verification is required because the provider already confirms your identity.
What happens when your account is created
Regardless of sign-up method, CloudAIPilot automatically creates your first organization named "[Your Name]'s Projects". This is where everything lives — cloud accounts, servers, sites, backups, and team members. You can rename it under Settings → Organization or create additional organizations later.
Common issues
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Verification email never arrived | Check your spam or promotions folder. Sign in with your credentials and CloudAIPilot will offer to resend the link. |
| Verification link says "expired" | Links expire after 24 hours. Sign in to trigger a new verification email. |
| "Email already in use" on signup | An account with that email exists. Go to the login page, or use "Forgot password" to regain access. |
| OAuth sign-up loops back without completing | Your Google or GitHub email may already be registered with a password account. Try signing in with that email and password instead. |
