New Organizations can be created by first navigating to My Accounts page using the right-hand sidebar.

A promotional message might appear at this stage, as explained below. After closing it, the user can see the new entry under the Account Switcher.

If this is the first time an Organization is created, a promotional message will appear. The benefits consist in 10 dollars that are offered as an initial Account Balance, for running some preliminary tests.
This promotion will expire after 30 days, or once the Account Balance has been depleted. Any further computational tasks will then require additional payments.
