You can think of EOS as an operating system for your decentralized applications. Just like a normal computer, EOS needs RAM to function. Many actions on EOS require small amounts of RAM. If you run out of RAM, or just want to buy a little bit more to make sure you're not running out, you can use this site to buy some more RAM.
Account using more than allotted RAM usage
If you get the error message Account using more than allotted RAM usage or messages like account has insufficient ram; needs 8192 bytes has 4096 bytes, that means you are out of RAM. You can use this site to buy more RAM for your EOS account.
Buy RAM for your EOS Account
After successful payment you will be redirected back here, we will buy that RAM for you and credit it to your account. If you have any questions, please visit our Telegram group
The way EOS works is that new accounts can only be created by someone with an existing account. If you have a friend who has an EOS account, you can ask him to create one for you. If you don't, this website can be your friend for a small fee.
How much does it cost?
The cost of one EOS account is currently USD 3.98 when paid with cryptocurrencies, USD 5.61 when paid with credit card and 0.5 EOS when paid with EOS. Included in the price are 0.2 staked EOS that will be delegated to your account and 4 KB of RAM. To make sure you have enough CPU resources in your new account, we're also borrowing roughly 3 EOS worth of CPU bandwith from REX for your new account that will be yours for 30 days.
Which payment methods do you accept?
You can pay with credit card and the cryptocurrencies EOS, Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum and Litecoin.

Is this website safe to use?
Yes. You generate the keys safely offline and only use your public keys on the website. Public keys are safe to share. The source code is on GitHub and can be audited. The activity of this website can be checked on the EOS blockchain. This tool uses the EOS account accountcreat to generate new accounts, the activity can be checked in any block explorer.

What are those keys and how do I generate them?
In order to access your new EOS account, you will need two key pairs, owner and active. Each key pair consists of a private key and a public key. The public key is safe to give out and will be publicly visible in the blockchain. The private key must be kept secret and stored securely.
SimplEOS (Easy to use desktop wallet, supports generating keys offline)
Scatter (Chrome Desktop, recommended for daily use)
Cleos (Official wallet by Block.one but command line tool, only for advanced users)
Why do I need two keys, owner and active?
The active key is the one you're gonna use for daily operations like interacting with dApps or money transfers. This would be the key that you're gonna import into your favorite wallet or Scatter if you want to interact with dApps. If this key gets compromised, you will be able to regain control of your account using the owner key and cancel outgoing transfers that haven't gone through yet.
The owner key is very important as whoever holds it is the real owner of the account. You will need it if you want to transfer control of the account to someone else. You can also use it to change the keys of your account. You can also use it to prove ownership of your account in case your active key gets compromised. That's why you should generate this key in an offline key generator in only store it in cold storage.
