part.io: Creating a User Account

The very first step in using the part.io system is to create a user account and booking one of our plans - most likely the Basic Plan in the beginning. You can create the user account with only your email address, your full name and your self selected password here:

After you have completed this information and hit the "Submit Now" button, we send you an email containing a link. In order to verify that you are indeed the owner of the given email address, you need to click on that link to activate your account. After that click, you can log on with the password you have selected here:
