# Presearch - Getting Started Getting your Presearch node running is extremely straight-forward with Node Orbit. * Log into your [Presearch dashboard](https://nodes.presearch.com/dashboard) * Copy your node registration code. Make sure you're copying the registration code and not the node API key. * Paste your node registration code into your checkout screen * After checkout, you will be able to see your node on the [Presearch dashboard](https://nodes.presearch.com/dashboard) where you can stake PRE to your node. #### Checking your node status From the Node Orbit dashboard, you can click **View Logs**. If you see 'node is listening for searches', then your node is properly configured. If you see an error message stating bad registration code, there's the option to **Update Node Data** to input a new registration code. #### Can I switch from one VPS over to Node Orbit? Yes, simply turn off your original nodes, wait at least an hour, and then proceed to purchase through Node Orbit. The system will provision your node automatically. We do pass the flags to auto-stake any disconnected nodes if they were properly turned off. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
