Setting Up Your Account
In order to use our service you will need to create your own Genesis Cloud account. Make sure to verify your account upon creation using your phone number. In order to create instances, we require a valid payment method. After these steps you are ready for the next steps.
Requesting Quota and Creating Instances
To at all times ensure we have the capacity to host your desired instances we require you to request quotas for the instance types you want to use. We will most often quickly send you a request confirmation which enables you to create instances. Instances are either prepaid or billed on demand, according to our current pricing.
Volumes, Snapshots, Static IPs and More
We offer a variety of features to use with our service, including Volumes to store your data, Snapshots to facilitate starting up and working with instance configurations and Static Public IPs to provide easy access to your instances at all times. Leverage these features to your advantage [INSERT LINK TO FEATURES LANDING PAGE].
