Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video, I will show you how you can try DigitalOcean for free as a new customer with a $200 credit for 60 days. You will also learn how to create your first cloud server or virtual private server (VPS) called a droplet and configure it with a Linux Operating System (OS). During your DigitalOcean trial, you're not limited to just experimenting with their droplet service, you can in fact try any of DigitalOcean's cloud services using your free $200 cloud credits that they provide.

High there, is your referral link available in Philippines?
if i used the trial, i charged on tax or no?
I created account but not getting 200$ credit
I try to create a new account as a free trial but its asking entry fees...
I used PayPal and $5 was deducted from my card linked to PayPal, and the money was not returned to the card again. Why?
should it be having auto billing after a month? once my debit card is added

No, the trial is for 60 days. If you are still using a DigitalOcean service or multiple services after your trial period, then you will start being billed accordingly after 60 days. If you have destroyed or deleted all the services you are using on DigitalOcean before your trial period ends then you will not be billed. I hope this helps.

Hi Muhammad, that's very strange. I would advise contacting DigitalOcean's customer support and quoting my referral link. Express to them that you used my link but didn't get the credit. They should be able to credit your account. I hope this helps.

Hi Random, that's very strange. Contact DigitalOcean's customer support by creating a ticket. You can do so here cloudsupport.digitalocean.com/s/ Express to them that you didn't receive the $200 free cloud credits despite using my referral link. Please include my referral link in your support ticket. I hope this helps.

its a pre-payment for future use, they usually refund this if you don't use it for 2-3 years or just ask them to send it back to you
Can I contact you
