+## Activation Notes
+
+### Root User Name
+Do not change the name of the root user. Certain parts of the system have hardcoded references to "root" as the
+name of the admin user.
+
+### Required Clouds
+You must define at least one cloud provider for each of these categories:
+  * DNS (Amazon Route53 or GoDaddy DNS)
+  * Email (SMTP, SendGrid or Mailgun)
+  * Compute (Vultr, DigitalOcean or Amazon EC2)  (note EC2 support is WIP, Vultr and DigitalOcean are stable)
+
+### Initial Domain
+The initial Domain you define during activation must be owned by you, and the DNS provider for this domain must be the
+one selected in the "DNS Provider" drop-down box.
+
+## Activate via Web UI
 The browser-based admin UI should be displaying an "Activate" page. Complete the information on this page and submit the
 data. The Bubble Launcher will create an initial "root" account and other basic system configurations.
