[Directus Cloud](https://directus.cloud) is a hosting platform for [Directus Projects](/cloud/glossary#projects) which
|
|
handles data storage, hosting, updates and scalability so you can focus on building your digital apps and experiences.
|
|
There are two [tiers of Cloud Projects](/cloud/glossary#projects): Standard and Enterprise. Both tiers come with all the
|
|
great features of Directus Core, as well as all [Cloud Exclusive](/cloud/exclusives) extensions.
|
|
|
|
The Cloud Dashboard is constructed to manage three key components: [Accounts](/cloud/glossary#accounts),
|
|
[Teams](/cloud/glossary#teams) and [Projects](/cloud/glossary#projects). First, create an Account. Once logged in,
|
|
create or join a Team, and your Account will become a Member of that Team. Once that's complete, you can create Projects
|
|
within a Team.
|
|
|
|
Accounts can be Members on multiple Teams. All Team Members have SuperAdmin privileges to manage the Team's Projects,
|
|
Project [billing](/cloud/teams#manage-billing), other Team Members and the Team itself. Teams can have multiple Team
|
|
Members and multiple Projects. Projects can only be managed by one Team and cannot be transferred to new Teams.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
To make life easy, you have the option to
|
|
[create and login to your free Cloud Account](/cloud/accounts#create-account-and-login) 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.
|
|
Once logged in, create a new Team or select an existing Team. Then you can access and manage the Team's associated
|
|
Projects, billing details, Team Members, Activity and Settings.
