# Sign-up to OVHcloud Data Platform

## Objective

You can sign up if you are new to Data Platform or sign in if you have an existing Data Platform organization.

## Sign-up

:::info
If you have received an invitation to join an existing Data Platform Organization from an admin, you can alternatively sign up with your email.

To access OVHcloud Data Platform for the first time, you need an [OVHcloud account](/en/guides/account-and-service-management/account-information/ovhcloud-account-creation.md) and a [Public Cloud project](/en/guides/public-cloud/cross-functional/create-a-public-cloud-project.md).

You have different options: sign up from the website or from the OVHcloud Control Panel.

### Option 1: Sign-up from the OVHcloud Website Data Platform Product Page

1. Go to the [Data Platform website](https://www.ovhcloud.com/en-gb/public-cloud/data-platform/).

:::info
Each Public Cloud project can only have one organization linked to it. Based on your project name, an organization will be automatically created for you when the Data Platform is launched.

.
You can access it via two links:

- From the left-side menu in the \`Databases & Analytics section.
- Directly via the <code className="action">Create a Data Platform</code> card on the right side.
