Current cloud instance process

The current processs for creating cloud instances is incorrect.

At the moment the process is the following:

• Customer goes to https://vantage.hostxtra.co.uk/start then fills in the form.
• Customer is then sent and email to verify
• Customer clicks the link and the instance is created in the DB.
• Customer can then access the instance.

As the /start process is auto creating a new instance this should default to the free tier instance.

The issue is that this doesn't create an account and admin_instance on the admin side.

The process should be the following:

• Customer goes to https://vantage.hostxtra.co.uk/start then fills in the form (including account name).
• Customer is then sent and email to verify
• Customer clicks the link and the instance is created in the DB.
• account and admin_instance is created
