How the DigitalOcean referral link works

When someone signs up for DigitalOcean through a referral link, they get DigitalOcean's standard sign-up credit. DigitalOcean's billing docs currently list that credit as $5, valid for 90 days. The person who shared the link earns $25 in DigitalOcean credit once the new account spends and pays for $25 of usage. This page is based on DigitalOcean's referral page and docs as of November 2026.

How to use a DigitalOcean referral link

  1. Open the member's link. It looks like m.do.co/c/ followed by a 12-character code and sends you to DigitalOcean with the referral attached.
  2. Create a new account from that page.
  3. Add a valid payment method. DigitalOcean requires one before you can create Droplets or other resources.

How the credit works

The sign-up credit is applied automatically, with no promo code needed. It covers all products except SaaS Add-Ons, can't be moved to another team, and expires 90 days after signup. Your card is only charged for usage beyond the credit, or after the credit expires.

Things to know

  • The referral must be attached when the account is created. Open the link before you sign up.
  • Referral credit can't be paid out as cash or transferred to other teams.
  • DigitalOcean doesn't support the referral program for teams that belong to an organization.
  • Older posts mention larger trial credits. DigitalOcean's current docs list $5 for 90 days, so check the amount shown on your billing page.

Get your own DigitalOcean referral link

In the control panel, click Settings in the left menu, then open the Referrals tab. Your unique link is under "Share your unique URL", and the page also tracks clicks, referrals and pending credit. Copy the link and share it on Code Load. Each time someone you refer spends and pays for $25 of usage, your team gets $25 in credit. There is no cap on total referral credit, and you can send up to 30 invitations a day.
