To create an AWS (Amazon Web Services) account, you need to open https://aws.amazon.com and click "Create an AWS Account" button.
Type your e-mail, select "I am a new user" and click "Sign in using our secure server" button.
Type your name, e-mail again, password and click "Create account" button.
There are two types of account which are Company Account and Personal Account. Choose your account type and then fill the form. When the form is complete click "Create Account and Continue" button.
In this step you need to enter your credit card information. As long as you use free-tier services, Amazon doesn't charge anything from your credit card.
Note: Amazon doesn't charge anything from your credit card in this step.
In Identity Verification step, you need to enter your phone number and click "Call Me Now" button.
After clicking "Call Me Now" button Amazon will call you and asks 4 digit pin number which is in the Call in progress panel. You can enter or say these digits while you are in a call with Amazon.
After you successfully enter 4 digits pin number, second step will finish automatically and third step appears. In this step click "Continue to select your Support plan" button.
In this post I choose "Basic" plan for free services but according to your needs you can choose other support plans. After choosing your support plan, click "Continue" button.
Note: You can change your support plan later.
Click "Complete Sign Up" button and login with your credentials.
Congratulations. You create your AWS account successfully. Next blog posts I will write about how to use AWS services.
