Use before sign up: «referral link here»

Good to Know
- The free credit can also be used as discount to reduce the billing cost of any other droplet (for website hosting, etc.)
- The offer is available for new registrations only but terms allow opening of unlimited new accounts with this method.
- You need to register either a credit card or pre-paid card for this to work! Optionally you can deposit $5 via PayPal if you don’t want to use a payment card.
- If you want a free trial without a credit card; you can register an account with Cloudways for a fully managed server with quick deployment.
Once you’ve clicked on the referral link provided — you should see the “Free Credit Active” notice notice while you browse the digitalocean.com website.
Simply proceed to create an account and complete registration to secure your $10 credit “from a friend” (which is me in this case).
In case you cannot see the message; either
- (a) try the referral link again
- (b) clear browser cache and try again or
- (c) use a whole different web browser to complete the sign up process.
The $10/month plan is the most popular plan that you can trial through the referral link, but you can go all the way up to some of their $80/month plans or as little as $5.
The cloud server resource specs include:
- 1GB memory
- 1 Core processor
- 30GB of SSD Storage
- 2TB of Bandwidth
Note! To use DigitalOcean’s “WordPress one-click application” to host WordPress websites you will need a plan with at least 1GB of memory.
This is why the $5 plan with 512MB memory cannot be used for hosting WordPress in most cases. Although those who are able to use the cheapest plan can get an even better deal of a 2 month free trial of course.
Please Note
- This promotion is part of DigitalOcean’s referral program — that gives $25 in account credit to the person providing the referral link.
- I receive the account credit only if you continue to use the service and pay at least $25 for future hosting on your account.
- Your own link cannot be used on yourself to get the $25 extra credit.
- Huge thanks if you choose to use my referral link and support me!

Monetary notice: As stated above; I could potentially receive $25 in DigitalOcean account funds if someone chooses to register through the referral link above, continue the service & use up at least $25 in total of additional droplet payments (while giving you $100 for free that is valid for a 60day period).
So if you benefit from this I will also; and my deepest thanks for that!
Please note; this offer is subject to potential changes.
