# Create an account

> Open a new Space, or user account, on the SignalWire platform.

Create an account with an email address, or sign in with **GitHub**, **Google**, or **LinkedIn**.

### Sign up

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

#### [Sign up for a SignalWire account](https://signalwire.com/signup)

Open a new account and reserve a  unique `.signalwire.com` Space domain.

### 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:

#### Choose wisely

Once set, your Space domain cannot be changed except by a Support request.

#### Multiple spaces

You can create multiple Spaces associated with your SignalWire account.

#### Accounts, Spaces, Projects

Each Space can contain multiple Projects, and each Project can contain Subprojects.

### 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!

## Group work with Projects and Subprojects

You can add more [Projects](/docs/platform/projects) to your Space at any time from the Project
menu in the Dashboard.
A Project can also hold [Subprojects](/docs/platform/projects#subprojects): Projects nested one
level beneath it, each with its own Project ID, API tokens, phone numbers, and Resources.
Use a Subproject to give a customer, an environment, or a region an isolated Project.
Unlike root Projects, an application can create and delete Subprojects through the REST API, with
[Create a subproject](/docs/apis/rest/projects/create-subproject) and
[Delete a subproject](/docs/apis/rest/projects/delete-subproject).

## Next steps

Take your next steps by exploring the Dashboard, [verifying a phone number for outbound Caller ID](/docs/platform/voice/how-to-set-caller-id-or-cnam), and exiting Trial Mode by adding at least \$5 in credit.
