Create an Instance
Tip
If you go through the Hello, World! onboarding steps when registering on the Partner Portal, you only have to enter a name for your demo Instance, and we create it for you.
To be able to deploy your site, you have to create an Instance on the Partner Portal. Instances have a URL, and they represent different development environments, like staging or production. We recommend creating a staging environment for going through the steps in this tutorial.
On the Partner Portal, in the menu on the left under Create, select Instance, and fill in the form:
| Field | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Name | The name of your Instance | HelloWorld |
| Tags | Enter up to 5 tags (optional). You can use tags to group your Instances, for example by project or client. | demo, test |
| Partner | Select the Partner the Instance will belong to. | HelloWorldPartner |
| Data Center | Select an endpoint (staging or production). | STAGING |
Select the Staging/Unbilled Billing Plan that appears, and click on the Create button. We create the Instance, and once it's done (in a couple of minutes), send you an email with a link to your Instance and other useful information.
