# Getting started

Welcome to MNX.io! In a few easy steps, you can sign up for a account and begin your journey toward the future of container computing.

1. [Request an MNX.io account](https://portal.mnx.io/register/). You can also set a password to secure your account.
2. [Add payment information](https://portal.mnx.io/billing/). Your billing information authorizes the account creation process.
3. [Add an SSH key to your account](https://portal.mnx.io/account/ssh_key/). You can upload an existing key or create one in the Triton Service portal.
