# New User Sign Up


New User Sign Up
=================================

Container Registry is a cloud-based solution that you can use in your browser or CLI tool or through an API. 
<!--- It retains the graphical user interface of the original Harbor technology. / YL-->

## Your Instance on Container Registry

All accounts with a Dedicated Service subscription receive a subdomain on [container-registry.com](https://container-registry.com). Your organization can also request a custom domain. 

Every subdomain/domain represents one instance. For different instances, you need different login credentials. 

## Registration Methods

As a user, you can use one of these methods to register in your Container Registry instance:
* Your account admin can create a user for you and send you the credentials. 
* If the self-registration is enabled for the instance, then go to the subdomain/custom domain, and click on **Sing up for an account**, and fill in the form.
* If the OIDC login is enabled for the instance, go to the subdomain/custom domain, click on **Login via OIDC provider**, and use one of your federated identity profiles.

The last two methods must be configured by your Container Registry administrator. 

If you are the administrator, please refer to this [tutorial](/docs/administration-manual/authentication/index.md) in our administrator guide.
