<Steps>
  ### Sign up

  Initiate the process by entering an email address or selecting a supported authorization provider.

  <Card title="Sign up for a SignalWire account" icon="solid id-badge" href="https://signalwire.com/signup">
    Open a new account and reserve a  unique `.signalwire.com` Space domain.
  </Card>

  ### Name your SignalWire Space

  This is your unique `.signalwire.com` domain to which all services are tied.
  We recommend using your company name.

  Keep the following in mind:

      Once set, your Space domain cannot be changed except by a Support request.
    </Card>

    <Card title="Multiple spaces" icon="solid cubes">
      You can create multiple Spaces associated with your SignalWire account.
    </Card>

    <Card title="Accounts, Spaces, Projects" icon="solid list">
      Each Space can contain multiple Projects.
    </Card>
  </CardGroup>

  ### Create a project

  Projects are used to group resources according to your preference, such as by customer account, by geographical region, or any other classification.
  Name your project something that will help to distinguish it from the other projects you will make in the future, and you're ready to go.

  Now you have a SignalWire Space and your first project. Congratulations!
