# Get started

It's very easy to use our Game hosting dashboard. The following sections describes how to quickly get your game deployed. If you prefer setting up your game hosting through API, please see our [Quick start guide](/game-hosting/overview/quick-start.md).

## Step 1: A CDN account is created

After you receive your credentials, you will be able to upload your build archive.

## Step 2: Define your application and create your application build

After you have uploaded your build archive, you can now create your build by defining your application. This guide will assist you in setting up your Application details, settings, and properties. For more information, see [Define your application and create your application build](/game-hosting/get-started/set-up-guide.md).

## Step 3: Create your game, utility, dependency, or capacity templates

In this step, you learn how you can [create your game, utility, dependency, or capacity templates](/game-hosting/get-started/game-template.md).

* **Create a game template**: This will help you define which game application builds will be deployed for that fleet.
* **Create a utility template**: This template will help you to specify which utility / utilities you want to deploy onto each host (Bare Metal or Virtal Machine).
* **Create a dependency template**: This template is used by a fleet and defines which dependency installer and uninstaller application builds will be deployed for that fleet.
* **Create a capacity template**: This template you can define how many game instances you want deployed on any specified BM instance types and / or VM instance types.

## Step 4: Create your game deployment environment, profile, and fleets

In this step, you learn how to configure your infrastructure to deploy your game. You will be able to configure your fleets of servers, defining your deployment profiles to specify how you want your game to be distributed. For more information, see [Game deployment environment, profile, and fleets introduction](/game-hosting/get-started/game-deploy.md).
