XMPP, like email, is a federated protocol, which means that there is not one company you can create an 'official XMPP account' with. Instead there are hundreds, or even thousands, of provider out there. One of those providers is our very own [conversations.im](https://account.conversations.im). If you dont like to use 'conversations.im' use a web search engine of your choice to find another provider. Or maybe your university has one. Or you can run your own. Or ask a friend to run one. Once you've found one, you can use Conversations to create an account. Just select 'register new account' on server within the create account dialog.
