Server credit for your UF company
DigitalOcean gives new users $100 in promo credit. This is an affiliate link, which means we get a commission if you sign up.
Affiliate link. We are transparent about this because UF is school-related.
What the credit covers
$100 is enough to run a small VPS, a managed database and a load balancer for several months. It is a good way to learn how real servers work without spending your own money.
What you can run
- A Linux server for WordPress, Odoo or a custom site.
- A Docker host for testing containers.
- A small database and backup routine.
Before you sign up
- You need a valid payment method, even though the credit covers the first costs.
- Keep track of spending so you are not surprised when the credit runs out.
- Shut down resources you do not use.
