How to create an ESN Hosting account

Sign up for a free ESN Hosting panel account yourself: pick a username, enter your email and a password, and you are signed in and ready to buy or start a trial.

You can make your own ESN Hosting panel account in about a minute. Signing up is free; you only pay when you buy a server.

Steps

  1. Open panel.esnoffical.com/auth/register, or choose New here? Create an account on the sign-in page.
  2. Pick a username: 3 to 32 characters, using letters, numbers, dots, dashes or underscores. It has to start and end with a letter or number.
  3. Enter your email. Use the one you'll pay with on Stripe, since your orders and server emails are tied to it.
  4. Choose a password: 8 to 72 characters with at least one letter and one number. It can't contain your username or email. Type it again to confirm.
  5. Choose Create account. You're signed in right away and taken to the Plans page.

If it doesn't work

  • "That email already has an account": you (or ESN staff) already made one with that email. Sign in, or use Forgot password? on the sign-in page to reset it.
  • "That username is taken" or "not available": pick another one.
  • "Too many new accounts from your connection": sign-ups are limited per connection to stop spam. Try again later, or ask in the ESN Hosting Discord.
