# How Cloud Compute Services Work

### 🧭 How to Get Started with UBI Cloud Compute

UBI Cloud makes it easy for anyone to start contributing to decentralized infrastructure — no hardware, no technical setup, no friction. Here’s how the process works from sign-up to yield optimization:

***

#### 1️⃣ **Sign Up for Cloud Services**

Users create an account via the UBI Network platform and select a **subscription model**:

* **Pay-as-you-go** – Ideal for flexible or trial participation
* **Fixed plans** – Optimized for sustained contribution at discounted rates

***

#### 2️⃣ **Select DePIN Projects to Support**

Browse a curated list of supported DePIN missions — from storage and bandwidth networks to AI compute and testnets.

* Platform recommendations are based on **project reward rates**, **resource demands**, and **user preferences**
* Users can opt for auto-selection or manual project curation

***

#### 3️⃣ **Allocate Cloud Resources**

Using a visual dashboard, users allocate virtual CPUs, memory, and bandwidth to selected projects.

* Dynamic sliders and presets make configuration easy
* Users can optimize for **yield**, **low competition**, or **project diversity**

***

#### 4️⃣ **Monitor & Optimize**

Track real-time performance, contributions, and earnings via the integrated analytics suite.

* Get **notifications** when higher-yield opportunities arise
* Adjust allocations anytime to maximize reward output
