# Create Your Account

BestChatBot offers two ways to sign up: **Google** or **Email and password**. Pick whichever you prefer.

## How to Sign Up

<Steps>
  <Step title="Visit BestChatBot">
    Go to [bestchatbot.io](https://bestchatbot.io) and click the **Get Started** button.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Your Sign-Up Method">
    You'll see two options:

    * **Continue with Google**: one-click sign-up using your Google account
    * **Email and password**: create a new account with any email address

    <Tip>Both methods create the same account. You can always sign in with either one later.</Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Land on Your Dashboard">
    After signing up, you'll be taken directly to the BestChatBot dashboard. From here you can create your first workspace.

</Steps>

## What Happens During Sign-Up

When you create your account, BestChatBot:

* Creates your profile
* Takes you to the workspace selector where you can create your first workspace
* Each workspace is an independent environment with its own knowledge base and widget configuration. Billing is applied per account, not per workspace.

<Tip>A **workspace** is your project space. Each workspace runs one chat widget. Create separate workspaces if you manage multiple sites or brands.</Tip>
