[Directus Cloud](https://directus.cloud) is a hosting platform for
|
|
[Directus Projects](/user-guide/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](/user-guide/cloud/glossary#projects): Professional and Enterprise. Both tiers come with all
|
|
the great features of Directus Core.
|
|
|
|
The Cloud Dashboard is constructed to manage three key components: [Accounts](/user-guide/cloud/glossary#accounts),
|
|
[Teams](/user-guide/cloud/glossary#teams) and [Projects](/user-guide/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](/user-guide/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](/user-guide/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.

Remember: The Dashboard layout itself is designed to manage [Accounts](/user-guide/cloud/glossary#accounts),
|
|
[Teams](/user-guide/cloud/glossary#teams) and [Projects](/user-guide/cloud/glossary#projects). Here's how the Dashboard
|
|
