Referral Program

Validated on 13 April 2020 • Posted on 19 June 2018

If you enjoy our services and want to share with friends and colleagues, you can earn account credit by referring others to DigitalOcean.

When someone signs up for DigitalOcean using your referral link and adds a valid payment method, they immediately receive a $100, 60-day account credit. In return, once the person you refer spends $25 as a DigitalOcean customer, we give you $25 in credit. There's no limit to the amount of referral credit you can earn.

Note

Referral links are unique to each user and team. Make sure to use the referral link from the appropriate account. You cannot receive referral credit as cash or transfer the credit to other accounts or teams.

Your referral link is in your account Settings on the Referrals page. The Share your link section has your unique referral link and an option to Share via Twitter directly. You can invite up to 30 people per day and there is no limit to the overall number of invitations you send.

The referral link section of the account settings page

The referral page also has statistics about your link, including how many times your link has been clicked and how many referrals you've made. You can also see how much credit has been applied to your account and how much credit is pending from referrals who haven't met the spending threshold yet.
