# Create Your First Resource

> Provision a dedicated Coder deployment or Codewire Relay

Once you have an [organization](/getting-started/create-organization), you can add resources to it.

## Before you start

* You need a verified Codewire account with 2FA enabled
* You must be an **owner or admin** of the organization

## Add a resource

1. Navigate to your organization on the [dashboard](https://codewire.sh/dashboard)
2. Click **Add Resource**
3. Select a **resource type**:
   * **Coder** — a managed Coder deployment with its own database, namespace, and domain
   * **Codewire Relay** — a relay for AI agent connectivity
4. Choose a **plan**:
   * Coder: Starter ($49/mo), Pro ($199/mo), Team (\$499/mo), Enterprise (custom)
   * Relay: \$5/mo
   * All Coder plans include a **14-day free trial**
5. Enter a **slug** — for Coder resources, this becomes your URL: `your-slug.codewire.sh`
6. Click **Create Resource**

<Info>
  Slugs must be lowercase, use only letters, numbers, and hyphens, and be between 3-63 characters. Choose carefully — slugs cannot be changed after creation.
</Info>

If this is your first resource and you don't have a payment method on file, you'll be redirected to **Stripe Checkout** to set up billing.

## Watch provisioning

Your resource transitions through: **Pending** → **Provisioning** → **Running**.

The resource detail page shows a **provision timeline** with real-time progress — each step is displayed inline, not just in the Events tab.

Provisioning typically takes **2-5 minutes** for Coder resources.

## Access your Coder instance

Once a Coder resource shows **Running**:

1. Click **Open Coder** to go to `your-slug.codewire.sh`
2. Sign in with the **admin credentials** shown on the resource detail page
3. Start creating workspaces from the available templates
