Create your company in Orbit

In development

Sign-up opens at launch. This page describes how it will work. Until then, companies are set up by the Orbit team, who invite the first administrator by e-mail. You can follow the launch on the sign-up page.

Creating a company gives you an organization, a site on your own address and an administrator account, all created together.

Before you start

You need an e-mail address you can read and a password that meets the password policy: by default at least 10 characters. See Security settings.

Sign up

1. Open Sign up on the Orbit website and choose a plan: Free, Team or Business. For Enterprise, contact us.

2. Fill in the form:

   • the company name,
   • the company address: a short name that becomes <slug>.orbit.inortix.com,
   • your name,
   • your e-mail address,
   • your password.

3. Submit the form. Orbit mails a one-time link to the address you gave. The link is valid for 24 hours. Orbit answers the same way for a new and for an existing address.

4. Open the link from the e-mail to confirm your e-mail address. In one step Orbit creates:

   • your account, or it uses the account you are signed in with if it has that address,
   • the organization, with you as its owner,
   • the site on <slug>.orbit.inortix.com, with its own storage,
   • your place on that site as site administrator.

5. Orbit sends you an e-mail with everything you need to sign in at your company address. Sign in there, for example at acme.orbit.inortix.com, and create your first project. See Your first project.

Opening the link a second time shows the same result and creates nothing new.

The 14-day trial

Every new company starts with a 14-day Business trial, no card required, whichever plan you chose. After the trial your company continues on the plan you chose, or on Free. Nothing is deleted when a plan has lower limits: content over a limit becomes read-only. See Plans and billing.
