After creating account you will be reached at google cloud platform dashboard from where you can manage your entire server.
Step-1 Create VM Instance
Go to Home -- Compute Engine (Compute Engine lets you use virtual machines that run on Google's infrastructure. Create micro-VMs or larger instances running Debian, Windows, or other standard images. Create your first VM instance, import it using a migration service, or try the quickstart to build a sample app.)-- VM Instance -- create Compute Engine VM Instance
