Sign up or Signup

Question

When we have a button in a website for creating an account for a website.

Should it say 'sign up' or 'signup'?

I've seen 'sign up' on most of the places, but which is the correct one?

I have never seen 'signup'; could you provide a link to a place where it appears?

It should be sign up, as that is the verb form (see definition 30). Signup (or sign-up) is a noun.

That pattern usually holds: log in (verb) vs. login (noun), sit up (verb) vs. situp (noun), etc.
