Registering a New Subscription¶
This article explains how to order a new BrilliantCloud subscription.
Before you start¶
You'll need a domain name. You can:
- Register a new domain.
- Use a domain you already own.
- Transfer a domain from another provider.
A domain can only be connected to one subscription.
Step 1: Choose a plan¶
- Visit the pricing page on brilliantcloud.io. If you already have an account, open the Dashboard and select New Subscription.
- Compare the available plans.
- Select Order Now on the plan you want.
Plans differ in storage, the number of mailboxes, and available features. You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time.
Step 2: Choose a domain¶
Select how you want to use your domain:
- Register a new domain during checkout.
- Use an existing domain and connect it later.
- Transfer a domain from another provider. Transfers may take a few days to complete.
If you use or transfer an existing domain, your subscription is activated immediately. You can connect the domain later from your website settings.
Step 3: Complete your order¶
- Review your order.
- Choose a payment method.
- Create an account or sign in.
- Place your order.
You'll receive a confirmation email once your order has been processed. Most subscriptions are activated within a few minutes, although some orders may require a short verification.
Step 4: Set up your website and email¶
- Open the Dashboard.
- Go to Subscriptions.
- Select Website to start building your site.
- Select Email to create your first mailbox.
You can complete these steps in any order.
