# Cloud Accounts

An Account is your portal to Directus Cloud. You can use it to manage your Teams, Team Members, Projects and
|
|
[billing](/cloud/teams#manage-billing). To avoid confusion, "User" is the term for user profiles in a Directus Project,
|
|
while the terms "Account" and "Team Member" are used in the context of Directus Cloud. _Accounts on Directus Cloud_ and
|
|
_Users in a Directus Project_ are two separate systems.
|
|
|
|
See the [Overview](/cloud/overview) to learn how Accounts, Teams and Projects interrelate.

Creating an Account is easy and free. As we talked about in the [Overview](/cloud/overview), we've made life easy for

you by giving you the option to create and log in to your free Cloud Account automatically with GitHub. If you don't
|
|
have a GitHub account or prefer not to use this login method, email-and-password login is available, as well. In either
|
|
case, simply go to the [Login Page](https://directus.cloud/login) and follow the prompts.
