Choose what to do first

Pick a goal on the page a new account opens on, and set up the email or storage your plan includes in one step.

View as Markdown

In the dashboard

Once account plans open on your account, a new account opens on What do you want to do first? after sign-up. Each goal on the page opens the page that sets it up. Email and storage, which your plan includes at no charge, open a dialog that sets them up in one step. You can come back to the page at any time at coritan.com/dashboard/welcome.

  • You have created an account with your own email address. A sign-up with a new @coritan.gg mailbox opens webmail instead, and a sign-up that started from another page, such as an order, goes back to that page.
  • Account plans are open on your account. Without them, the page sends you to the dashboard's overview.

Select the goal that matches what you want to do:

A game server
Opens the order page for Container Apps (Order a server).
A website
Opens Put your website online, which says the site needs a server or hosting and offers two choices: Build a new site, the Container Apps order with WordPress chosen, or Use a site I already have, the Add a website dialog on Websites (Put a website online).
Email for my domain
Opens the dialog that sets up the Mail Hosting your plan includes (Set up the email your plan includes).
An app or a database
Opens the order page for Container Apps (Run an app or a database).
A cloud server
Opens the order page for Cloud Compute (Get a cloud server).
Storage for files and backups
Opens the dialog that creates the Object Storage your plan includes (Create the storage your plan includes).
My own hosting brand
Opens the Organizations area, where you start a brand of your own (Start your own hosting brand).

The three goals your plan includes have the Included in your plan badge. To come back to the list after you open a goal, use your browser's back button. To leave without choosing, select Skip to Home.

Set up the email your plan includes

Section titled Set up the email your plan includes
  1. Select Email for my domain. The Set up free email dialog opens and lists what your plan gives.
  2. Optionally, enter your domain in Domain, such as example.com. You can add it later.
  3. Complete the verification check, if the dialog shows one.
  4. Select Set up free email.

We set up the Mail Hosting service and open it (Set up the email your plan includes). Next, add your domain and create mailboxes.

Create the storage your plan includes

Section titled Create the storage your plan includes
  1. Select Storage for files and backups. The Create free storage dialog opens.
  2. Under Region, choose where your files live.
  3. Optionally, type a name in First bucket, such as assets, to create a bucket straight away.
  4. Complete the verification check, if the dialog shows one.
  5. Select Create free storage.

We set up the Object Storage service and open its Overview tab (Create the storage your plan includes). Next, create an access key and connect an S3 client.

The page for your goal opens, or the new service. Home keeps the first steps in its Get started card: Add a website, Set up email, Create storage, Order a server, Turn on two-factor sign-in and Invite a teammate. Each step is ticked once the account has it, and a step still to do opens its page. The card's close button, Hide these steps, hides it in that browser (Home).

The page sends you to the overview
Account plans are not open on your account yet, so there is no goal picker. Order what you need from Order service (Order a service).
Could not set up the email or Could not create the storage
We could not create the service your plan includes, and the line under the title says why (Troubleshooting).
The verification check did not pass. Complete it and try again.
The check expired or failed. Complete it again, then select the button again.
