AlibabaCloud how to register
How to register? It redirects me to login to alibaba.com where I already have a working account, so I login. After that it says this https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/fnild3vgemlbsz0/firefox_2016-08-19_16-56-11.png
If I click that link it points me to a registration form where I need to click "Not in China mainland" to get to a different registration form.
After that I can select my country but when I click to register it says that that my email already exists... well no shit, I already have an alibaba account which cant login for some reason.
Any ideas what is wrong and how to get it working?
Btw where exactly is the $8/month server located?
Comments
although it's alibaba international site, but they use the same user info database with the china local site, so, you can use another email to register
I managed to register but everything is in Chinese, cant find a way to switch to English.
@jimaek
This looks like the english version

Yes, but when you login its all in Chinese. I even tried changing cookies related to locale but it didnt help https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/cxlzqoe1ahyxpwf/firefox_2016-08-19_19-34-05.png

They are links to help pages and something else. When I hover on links I can mostly understand what they do by the URL. Cant find anything related to english
If you use Chrome you can use google translate
@jimaek first clean your cookie, open
https://intl.aliyun.com/en
eveything works.
AliYun account system is so strange, may be you can change an email to register.
AliYun doesn't limit where the server is.You can chose one you like.
Singapore
Hongkong
US East
US West
China Mainland
this is the detail
https://intl.aliyun.com/product/ecs?spm=a3c0i.7911826.401320.2.YtQzMv#pricing
the image you showed means that you should add a mobile to the aliyun account
small tips: You should purchase the aliyun server through the link bleow, otherwise aliyun WILL NOT send you 2TB bandwidth as a gift. The port of the server that purchase through this link will be limit at 30mbps.

If I am logged-in https://intl.aliyun.com/en redirects to https://cn.aliyun.com/

clean your cookie first, if still happen, means your account has been marked as Chinese user.
Change the email.
If you are from China, you will be redirected to the Chinese site. You CANNOT buy the $8 starter package if you are within China. If you get caught, your account will risk getting suspended. Read that somewhere on their site.
If you are NOT from China, do above, clear cache, change browser, etc. and if none works, send them a ticket, they might be able to change that for you.
I am from Europe. And my account with Alibaba is clearly marked as such. Plus I verified my european phone number.
I tried deleting cookies but didnt help
Maybe put English as the first language in your Chrome settings? They also check your preferred language of your browser AFAIK.
