# Profile registration

{% hint style="info" %}
In this section, you will learn how to autonomously run and manage an IoTeX delegate node. If you are interested in a hosted service that saves you from managing all the technical aspects of configuring, managing, and updating a full node, please go to the [Fastblock](https://delegates.iotex.io/get-started/hosted-service) section. 
{% endhint %}

Feel free to follow this video to register your profile on the [Delegates Portal](https://stake.iotex.io/), or simply follow the step-by-step guide right below it:
