Asked by erickhansx
I want to deploy several projects which require database access. I would like to know how to do it in a way that they’re primarily for recruiters and clients to see. I do not need a lot of bandwidth or even for it to be permanently online. I want to be able to show my portfolio projects to get a job and that’s mostly it.

Hi there,
Yes! You can start by getting $200 to try DigitalOcean with all new accounts:
You will need a credit card so that we can verify your identity, but you will not be charged or billed during your 60 day free trial.
You are eligible for the $200 credits if you have never been a paying customer of DigitalOcean and have not previously signed up for the free trial.
After the free trail you can run a Droplet with all of the services that you need installed on it, for as low as $4 per month:
Let me know if you have any questions!
Hope that this helps!
Best,
Bobby
