 Signup Questions

Question: Why is there no signup link?

We do not use local user names and passwords for this site. Really, who needs yet-another-username-and-password? Instead you can choose one of several login providers. You do not signup for this site, instead you just login and then purchase access to whatever instance images you want to use.

Question: What if I do not have an account with one of the listed providers?

We will be adding more providers soon. But, if you do not already use one of the login providers shown when you click 'Login', we recommend that you create a Google Account.

Question: When I clicked on a login provider, it said that shuttle.rpxnow.com was requesting access to my information, but I want access to this site? What gives?

 shuttle.rpxnow.com will actually bounce you automatically back to shuttle.astronautvista.com We are using rpxnow as our OpenID proxy. That is what allows us to conviently allow several sources of logins. For more information read the How it Works Page at RPX
