Account Creation
To create an AWS account follow the steps below:
Open the Amazon Web Services home page .
Choose Create an AWS account.
Enter your account information, and then choose Verify email address. This will send a verification code to your specified email address.
Important - We strongly recommend that you use an email address that can be accessed by a group, rather than only an individual. If you lose access to the email address associated with the AWS account, then you can't recover access to the account if you ever lose the password.
Enter your verification code, and then choose Verify.
Choose Business
Enter your company
Important - For business AWS accounts, it's a best practice to use a company phone number rather than a number for a personal phone, and an e-mail address with a domain name that belongs to the company or organization that will be using the account.
Read and accept the AWS Customer Agreement.
Choose Continue. At this point, you'll receive an email message to confirm that your AWS account is ready to use. You can sign in to your new account by using the email address and password you provided during sign up.
Enter the information about your payment method, and then choose Verify and Continue. You can't proceed with the sign-up process until you add a valid payment method.
Enter your country or region code from the list, and then enter a phone number where you can be reached in the next few minutes.
Enter the code displayed in the CAPTCHA, and then submit.
When the automated system contacts you, enter the PIN you receive and then submit.
Select one of the FREE AWS Support plan.
Choose Complete sign up. A confirmation page appears that indicates that your account is being activated.
Check your email and spam folder for an email message that confirms your account was activated. Activation usually takes a few minutes but can sometimes take up to 24 hours.
After you receive the activation message, you have full access to all AWS services.
