After you have decided you want to create a group on Groups.io, the first thing to do is sign up with Groups.io and create an account. For instructions, see Creating a Groups.io account in the Group Members Manual.

Note: If you already have a Groups.io account, skip to Step 2: Decide which plan you want.

For more information about Groups.io accounts in general, see Understanding Groups.io accounts in the Group Members Manual.

Tip: If you set a timezone in your Groups.io account preferences, groups you create will have that timezone by default. Otherwise, your new groups will have a default timezone of U.S./Canada Pacific Time (UTC–08:00 or UTC–07:00 depending on whether Daylight Saving Time is in effect).

Now go to Step 2: Decide which plan you want.
