# Adding a Main Project

You can host your project in the Linux Foundation. Once the company decides to host its project on the Linux Foundation, you (administrator) needs to create a project for every new company that hosts their projects or foundation on Linux Foundation using PCC.

{% hint style="warning" %}
As a administrator, you need to create the projects and sub projects as per the needs of the company.
{% endhint %}

To add a main project on the PCC, perform the following steps:

1.Login into PCC.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you do not have access to PCC, you need to raise the service ticket to get access to PCC. Refer [PCC Overview](https://docs.linuxfoundation.org/lfx/project-control-center-pre-release/overview).
{% endhint %}
