Creating a Community Questions account for non-Linode customers

Yes! This wasn’t clear, so we wanted to let people know you can absolutely create an account to post to our Community Questions site without giving us any billing information.

To create a user for this site, you’ll want to follow these steps:

• Click the signup button and provide an email, username and password
• Click on the “Confirm” button in the confirmation email.

Once you click that link, you will be asked to provide billing information. You do not have to put in billing information to post on the Community Questions site. Instead, when you reach the billing page, simply navigate back to the Community Questions site, where you’ll be asked to register a display name.

That’s it. No need for billing information to post.

Why do you ask for billing information, then?
This is because your Community Questions user is tied to a Linode account, though you don’t need a completed Linode account. A completed Linode account does require billing information before using any services. We’re working to make this more clear in the future.

Thanks for clearing the issue because I was thinking it is not possible but after reading this I register my account on this forum. Now after researching this forum I am planning to purchase the plan of Linode for the project.

I think it has been given. I have just registered without billing information, I skipped that friv step

Excellent! Looking forward to seeing you both around here in the Community!
