# How to Navigate Your Billing Dashboard

> Get familiar with the FREAKHOSTING Billing Panel layout: the dashboard overview, sidebar navigation, account menu, and top bar controls.

## Your Account at a Glance

The FREAKHOSTING Billing Panel has a modern, streamlined layout that puts every part of your account a click away. This guide walks you through the dashboard, the sidebar navigation, and the account menu so you always know where to find things.

</CardGroup>

## The Dashboard

When you log in, you land on the **Dashboard** (your Client Area home). It gives you a quick overview of your account:

* **Get started checklist**: new accounts see quick steps to verify their email, add a payment method, and deploy a first service.
* **Account stats**: cards showing your **spend over the last 12 months**, **active services**, **registered domains**, and **invoices due**.
* **Spending chart**: a 12-month graph of your spending history.
* **Quick actions**: shortcuts to *Order a service*, *Register a domain*, *Billing & invoices*, and *Get support*.
* **Recent activity**: your latest services, invoices, support tickets, and announcements.
