Create and secure your account

Sign up

You need an account for everything: servers, domains, credit, tickets.

1. On citexnode.com, click Create account.
2. Enter your first name, last name, email address and a password of at least 10 characters, then repeat the password.
3. Accept the terms and conditions including the fair use rules, and click Create account.

If the page says "Registration paused.", we are not accepting new accounts right now. You can still sign in with an existing account.

Confirm your email

After signing up you get an email with a confirmation link. You can only order once your address is confirmed. This is not a formality: without that hurdle, every throwaway address would get a free server.

If no email arrives, check your spam folder. If it is not there either, write to us via contact.

Billing details

Enter your name, date of birth and address in the dashboard under Account, tab Billing details. We need them for invoices, for topping up and as the holder details when you register a domain. The page does not show details that are already saved; whatever you enter and save replaces the old ones.

Sign in

• Email and password, with the security check. If two-factor authentication is on, the next step asks for the 6-digit code from your app, or a recovery code via Use a recovery code.
• Continue with …: the providers listed on the sign-in page, for example Discord or Google. If there is no account for that address yet, one is created.
• Sign in with a passkey: Face ID, fingerprint or a security key, if a passkey is registered for your account.

More on two-factor authentication and signed-in devices is under Security.
