Sign-up, email verification and the trial period
#Sign up
On the sign-in page, click Sign up and enter a username, email and password. After signing up you'll land on the onboarding wizard: paste a URL and your first site is created right away.
Alerts go out by email by default — a wrong address means no alerts at all. The system sends a verification email after sign-up; click the link inside to finish verifying.
#Didn't get the verification email
- Check the spam folder first;
- On the verification prompt shown after you sign in, click Resend confirmation email (the link stays valid for 48 hours, and resends are limited to once every 5 minutes);
- Still nothing? Go to System settings → Settings and change the email address — a new verification email will be sent.
#Trial period
New accounts get a trial period; its length depends on your plan — see My plan for the exact number. When the trial ends your data is not deleted; checks simply pause and resume automatically once you renew or upgrade.
A reminder email arrives before the trial expires. Keeping a working inbox is the single most important thing during the trial.
