Binance Now Accepting New Users! 1-11-18 240K New users in 1 hour! Grand opening, grand closing!
If you are new to the Crypto world then people normally recommend you going on Coinbase to get started with your first Bitcoin, Litecoin, or Ethereum purchase. For those who are more experienced and want to purchase altcoins, we use the Binance exchange. However, due to the overwhelming interest in Binance and altcoins, they have had to stop accepting new users until today! Binance launched new registrations earlier today and that brought it a sea of new users, about 240,000 in one hour.
According to this Bloomberg post https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-01-11/world-s-top-ranked-crypto-venue-added-240-000-users-in-one-hour, 240,000 signed up within an hour of their new registration availablility. Binance is one of the world's biggest crypto currency exchange and due to all the recent crypto currency growth it is growing larger and larger.
As of right now 4:04 pm, new registrations have been closed once again. There are a few others out there, but due to their diverse coin selection, this exchange is easy to use and filled with all the crypto of your choice!
Good luck on getting on. Here are a list of other resources to help you decide.

Binance seems to be switching new user registrations on and off all the time...
However, it is not the only exchange with restrictions:

Why they do that?
I guess because after opening again they soon reach their infrastructure limits again...
