Hello Digital Ocean Comunity,
I’m John from Romania, and my question is this: If I have received a $5.00 Credit Granted can I test the hosting of my website to see the difference between HDD and SSD server?
I want to test the speed of the server and website. In order to do this, I have to create a droplet but the platform doesn’t allow me to do this before I pay $5.00 either credit card, either paypal.
Can you explain me, how can I test the hosting on Digital ocean with $5.00 Credit card granted?
Thank you.

In order to activate your account, you simply need to add a valid credit card to your account account. You can do this on the billing page. It’s only if you decide to use PayPal that you need to make a prepayment of at least $5.
