- Create a Developer Edition organization

Create a Developer Edition Organization
You need an org to do this quick start tutorial, and we recommend you don’t use your
production org. You only need to create a Developer Edition org if you don’t already have
one.
- In your browser, go to https://developer.salesforce.com/signup?d=70130000000td6N.
- Fill in the fields about you and your company.
- In the Email field, make sure to use a public address you can
easily check from a Web browser.
- Type a unique Username. Note that this field is also in the
form of an email address, but it does not have to be the same as your email
address, and in fact, it’s usually better if they aren’t the same. Your
username is your login and your identity on developer.salesforce.com,
so you’re often better served by choosing a username such as
firstname@lastname.com.
- Read and then select the checkbox for the Master Subscription
Agreement and then click Submit Registration.
- In a moment you’ll receive an email with a login link. Click the link and change
your password.
Define a Custom Salesforce Domain Name
A custom domain name helps you enhance access security and better manage login and
authentication for your organization. If your custom domain is
universalcontainers, then your login URL would be
https://universalcontainers.lightning.force.com. For more
information, see My Domain in the Salesforce Help.
