# Quickstart

> Sign in, then rent a GPU or list one — in a few minutes.

GPU Outlet is a marketplace with two sides. This page gets you onto whichever
one you need: **rent** a GPU by the hour, or **sell** capacity on a machine you
own. Both start from the same account.

## Rent — the short version

1. **Top up.** Open **Billing**, pick an amount, and pay via Stripe. Your
   balance appears in the top-right pill once Stripe confirms. See
   [Topping up](/guides/topping-up).
2. **Add an SSH key.** In **Settings → SSH keys**, paste your
   `~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub`. It's injected into every machine you rent. See
   [Connecting via SSH](/guides/connecting-via-ssh).
3. **Launch.** Open **Create**, pick a listing (and how many GPUs — a
   marketplace listing rents the whole machine), choose a template, and hit
   **Launch**. Once it's **Running**, copy the `ssh` command and connect with
   your private key:

   ```bash Example — use the host/port from the modal and your own key theme={null}
   ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 root@123.45.67.89 -p 22001
   ```

   Full details, including templates and multi-GPU, are in
   [Your first instance](/guides/first-instance).

## Sell — the short version

1. **Open the Sell dashboard** at
   [gpuoutlet.ai/app/supplier](https://gpuoutlet.ai/app/supplier). Your supplier
   account is active immediately.
2. **Add your machine.** You get a single copy-paste command to run on the host.
   It starts a small agent that fingerprints the hardware, benchmarks it, and
   reports back — earning the listing a **Verified** badge.
3. **Set a price and publish.** Pick the GPU model and region, set your hourly
   price (add an optional cheaper Spot rate if you like), and publish. Buyers see
   it the moment it's live. See [Sell your GPUs](/guides/selling).
