# Set Up Your Hosting Node

> **Status – Mycelium Grid hoster onboarding**
>
> The Mycelium Grid and native hoster onboarding flow are not yet available. The information below is a preparation guide only. A full step‑by‑step setup guide will be published once the grid is live.

## Where Things Stand Today

- **Mycelium Network** and **Mycelium Cloud** are live and usable today.
- The **Mycelium Grid** (decentralized capacity layer backed by hosters) is in active development.
- A fully Mycelium‑branded hoster experience (accounts, dashboards, SPORE rewards) will be documented here when ready.

## How to Prepare as a Future Hoster

While the final onboarding flow is being finished, you can already:

- Read the **[Hosters Overview](/hosters)** to understand the role.  
- Choose or plan hardware via **[Buy or Build a Node](/hosters/buy-node)** and **[Advanced Node Options](/hosters/advanced-nodes)**.  
- Learn about rewards and tokenomics in **[Hosting Economics](/hosters/economics)**.  

## What’s Next

Once the Mycelium Grid hoster onboarding is live, this page will be replaced with a concrete, end‑to‑end setup guide covering:

- Account creation and identity for hosters.  
- Attaching nodes to the Mycelium Grid.  
- Monitoring capacity, utilization, and SPORE rewards.  
- Best practices for operating reliable nodes.

Stay tuned in the docs and community channels for updates.
