I tried to setup Jira and got an error on account creation

"Something went wrong on our side"

Tried it with two free account names and with different browsers already. No change.

What else can I do?

Thank you for help!

Dear both, thanks for your replies and suggestions!

I tried all that but ended up like you, @Kasia Szczakiel . Due to the facet, that I also have no Atlassian address, I wonder if someone from the support observes the discussion here and will respond.

Hi there @Volker Arnold  👋,

The error message “Something went wrong on our side” typically points to a temporary backend issue or a conflict during the account setup process. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot and resolve the problem: 

✅ Steps to Try:

  1. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies
    Sometimes old session data can interfere with account creation. Try clearing your cache and cookies, or open a private/incognito window.
  2. Check Atlassian Cloud Status
    Visit https://status.atlassian.com to confirm if there are any ongoing issues with account creation or authentication services.
  3. Use a Different Email Address
    If you’ve tried creating multiple sites with the same email, that could cause a conflict. Try registering with a new email address you haven’t used before.
  4. Avoid Reserved Words in Site Name
    Some subdomain names (e.g., “test”, “admin”, “jira”) might be reserved or already taken. Make sure your site name is unique and doesn’t contain any special characters.
  5. Use a Different Device or Network
    Occasionally, a local firewall, VPN, or browser plugin might block part of the signup process. Try from a different device or network (e.g., mobile hotspot). 


Still Not Working?

If none of the above helps, I recommend contacting Atlassian Support directly:

🔗 https://support.atlassian.com/contact/

Even for free accounts, you can raise a technical issue under “Troubleshooting Account Issues”, and the team is usually very responsive with access problems.

 

Let me know how it goes.

Hi @Sami Shaik ,

I have the same problem since yesterday, and I tried your solutions (thx for them!), but nothing seems to work :/

And to raise a case with support I have to provide url of my site, which obviously I don't have.

@Volker Arnold did you have more luck maybe?

Hi all,

I ran into a similar problem today that I cannot contact support due to a missing site URL, which in my case suddenly got deleted due to inactivity, whuch I would like to restore.

Have you perhaps found a way to get through to support?

Regards, 

Petra
