== Your path to an active shell ==

!What it means
|-
|01 · Register
|Create and verify the dashboard account.
|-
|02 · Request
|Choose a plan and complete its checks.
|-
|03 · Review
|Staff approve and provision the shell.
|-
|04 · Connect
|Set the shell password and check active status.

== What you need ==
A supported Gmail or googlemail.com address, your intended use and—when requesting Free—your DarkWorld IRC identity. Registration creates a dashboard account; it does not immediately create a Linux shell.

== Follow the dashboard ==

# '''Register and verify.''' Open the [https://panel.shells.darkworld.network/customer/ customer portal]. Complete registration and the email verification requested there. Use the customer URL ending in /customer/.
# '''Choose the right plan.''' Open Plans. Free is intended for IRC-related use. Other plans may allow broader approved work. Read the limits and submit an accurate request. Follow payment-review instructions for a paid request.
# '''Complete Free verification.''' Register and identify your nickname with NickServ on DarkWorld IRC. Follow the dashboard’s DWShells challenge and community information steps exactly. Join #DWShells on irc.darkworld.chat with TLS on port 6697 for help; merely joining the channel does not complete every check.
# '''Watch the request status.''' Respond to staff questions and check Inbox. Approval and provisioning are separate stages. Do not submit repeated requests while review is pending.
# '''Set your shell password.''' Use the password form or recovery process provided when requested. This is separate from your dashboard password. Wait until the shell shows active before attempting SSH.

== Already have a shell? ==
Register and verify the dashboard account, then ask staff to link your existing shell after ownership checks. Do not request a duplicate. Linking does not automatically renew a subscription, reset the shell password or reactivate a suspended shell.

== You are ready when ==

* Your shell appears in the dashboard and is active.
* You have set the shell password and can see your connection details.
* You understand the plan’s permissions and any Keep requirement.

== If something blocks progress ==
{| class="wikitable"
!What you see
!What to do
|-
|Verified account, no shell
|Check request and provisioning status. Verification alone does not create a shell.
|-
|Request needs information
|Read Inbox and the eligibility instructions; complete the missing step.
|-
|Existing username not linked
|Contact staff with ownership details. Never send passwords or verification links.
|}

== Registration, approval and activation are different ==
{| class="wikitable"
!Stage
!Meaning
|-
|Dashboard registered
|A customer account exists; shell access has not been granted.
|-
|Email verified
|Ownership of the email is confirmed; the request can still need other checks.
|-
|Request approved
|Staff have accepted the request; provisioning or password setup may still be pending.
|-
|Shell active
|Use the assigned connection details and your shell password.
|}
Do not publish verification tokens, reset links or customer dashboard screenshots containing private details.

== Rules and support ==
This guide describes how to use the service; it does not replace [[DWShells:Signup and Rules|Signup and Rules]]. Join '''#DWShells''' on <code>irc.darkworld.chat</code> using TLS port '''6697''' for help. Use [https://panel.shells.darkworld.network/customer/ the customer portal] for your actual status and connection details. Never share credentials or recovery links.
