# Create a serverless project
There are two options to create serverless projects:
- If you are a new user, [sign up for a free 14-day trial](https://cloud.elastic.co/serverless-registration) to create a serverless project. For more information about the Elastic Cloud trials, check [Trial features](/elastic/docs-content/pull/5636/deploy-manage/deploy/elastic-cloud/create-an-organization#general-sign-up-trial-what-is-included-in-my-trial).
- If you are an existing customer, [log in to Elastic Cloud](https://cloud.elastic.co/login). On the home page, you will see a new option to create serverless projects. The `admin` predefined role or an equivalent custom role is required to create projects. Refer to [User roles and privileges](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/5636/deploy-manage/users-roles/cloud-organization/user-roles).
