[Directus Cloud](https://directus.cloud/) is a hosting platform for [Directus Projects](/cloud/glossary/#projects) which
|
|
handles data storage, hosting, updates and scalability so developers can focus on building their app. There are 3
|
|
[tiers of Cloud Projects](/cloud/glossary/#projects): Community, Standard, and Enterprise. All 3 tiers come with
|
|
everything in Directus Core as well as all [Cloud Exclusive](/cloud/glossary/#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, you create yourself an Account. Once
|
|
logged in, you create or join a Team and your Account then becomes a Member of that Team. Then you 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 have no GitHub or do not wish 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.

|
|
[Teams](/cloud/glossary/#teams) and [Projects](/cloud/glossary/#projects). The following highlights how the Dashboard
|
|
