Digital Ocean giving $50 credits on Black Friday to new customers
Just found that Digital Ocean is offering $50 credits on black friday. That literally means 10 months of free VPS. Use the code: BLACK50. Use my affiliate link if you want. http://bit.ly/IkEFN6

- talles 13y agoWhat about who is already a customer?
- gmenard 13y agoit's for new customers only. :(
- LocalPCGuy 13y agoMay or may not work this time, but I've had success in the past opening a support ticket and asking for the promotion. I opened a ticket, but haven't gotten a response yet, so can't verify whether it'll work or not right now.
- LocalPCGuy 13y agoI can confirm the $25 match is the offer for existing customers, got the same message shown by xuki
- xuki 13y agoI got this from support Hello Thanks for writing in to claim this promo code! For existing users we've decided to extend the offer in such a way; a) we charge your credit card $25, if the charge is successful, we match that with a $25 credit, for a total of $50. b) you make a deposit of $25 on your PayPal payments page If you chose option (a) please respond to this ticket with: "I authorize you to charge my card on file $25 for the black friday promo!" If the charge is successful we will credit you the additional $25 and respond to you to confirm. If you chose option (b) simply make your PayPal deposit and then let us know in this ticket, we will review and credit you the $25 and send you a confirmation. If you have any other questions about this please let us know. Regards DigitalOcean Support
- bratsche 13y agoI wonder if a new customer who gets the discount could then go and create a ticket and pay $25 to get a second discount. Hmm. :)
- clone1018 13y agoThey have a promotion for you too, https://twitter.com/digitalocean/status/406450542546653184 https://twitter.com/digitalocean/status/406450542546653184

- rory096 13y agoI've had this problem with Digital Ocean before (seriously, where do they put that thing?), but if you just send them an email with the code they'll credit it to you with no hassle.
- zhaowang 13y agoI was told the coupon is expired according to Eastern time so I didn't get a credit. Sucks for people in non eastern time zones.
- codegeek 13y agoEDIT: I did not scroll all the way down. The promo code input field is at the very bottom of the billing page. So disregard this post of mine please. To confirm, I got the $50 credit successfully. The bit.ly link resolves to this https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=4d7fb2079a96 https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=4d7fb2079a96 There is no way to apply a discount code while creating a new account. Looks like you need to open a support ticket to apply discount codes ? https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/any-active-promo-codes-for-septermber-2013 https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/any-active-...
- Artemis2 13y agoWhen your account is created, go under billing and apply the code at the bottom of the page.
- unsquare 13y agoWorked for me as a new customer. 1. Create Account 2. Click Billing 3. Bottom of the page Code : BLACK50 4. Paypal 5$ ( http://i.imgur.com/gHAaEZW.png http://i.imgur.com/gHAaEZW.png ) 5. Create Droplet - 5$/month 6. 11 months of VPS for 5$ http://i.imgur.com/0Zbad7u.png http://i.imgur.com/0Zbad7u.png
- bwaine 13y agoI followed this and got credited. In order to start a server you have to add payment details though. So step 5 is not optional. Winner! \0/
- Casseres 13y agoDid not work for me. My Billing history only has PayPal in it. I created a support ticket. I'm sure they're busy today with all the new sign-ups, I'm curious how long it will take.
- Casseres 13y ago^ Resolved. Credit was manually added by support staff. I look forward to trying out Digital Ocean.
- GrahamsNumber 13y agoIf I want to host multiple websites, would I have to register multiple accounts with DO, or can I sign up for multiple plans with the same account?
- coolnow 13y agoYou can make a number of different "droplets" (instances) through 1 account, provided it has enough funds. However, if you want to host a few small websites, you can do that on 1 droplet using Apache or Nginx to set a directory for each domain.
- hrjet 13y agoI like what I see in Digital Ocean's offers and will be most likely choosing them the next time I need a host. Are there any catches to look out for?
- coolnow 13y agoI like DO for hosting small, non-critical stuff. However, i can't help but notice how they're giving away too much free service. How are they (planning on) making money?
- calgaryeng 13y agoThanks for posting this!
- MWil 13y agoI'm getting "that promo code has expired" :(

- munimkazia 13y agoThat was all the motivation I needed to finally kick start my side project. Redeemed the offer. Thanks!
- RU 13y agothis promo code has expired =((((((((((
- stevewillows 13y agoI've been on DO for a few weeks. It was a bit like a learning curve at first, but I really like the service. However, I passed on the promo because there has to be a day where I actually pay for their service.
