Try a server free with $10 credit

New customers get $10 of credit for an entry VPS, managed Redis or Kubernetes nodes. The card is checked, not charged. What happens when the credit runs out.

New customers can try a server with $10 of free credit (shown in your own currency). Your card is checked but not charged while you use the credit.

Who can claim it

  • A new account that has not paid for anything before.
  • Your e-mail address is confirmed, and a card is on file. The card is only checked.
  • One credit per person: one account, one card and one browser.

How to claim it

Open Wallet and choose Claim credit. The credit is also added automatically the first time you order a pay-by-the-hour server, if your account qualifies. If the card says you need to confirm your e-mail or add a card first, do that and come back.

What it pays for

  • The entry VPS (1 vCPU, 1 GB memory), in any of our locations.
  • A managed Redis database, smallest size.
  • Kubernetes worker nodes.

It cannot pay for GPU servers, bare metal or anything else. Servers on the credit are billed by the hour from your balance, and the Wallet page shows how much is left.

When the credit runs out

  • The server is stopped, and we e-mail you straight away.
  • If you have never paid us, the server is deleted 48 hours after it stops, with everything on
  • it. We e-mail you again after 24 hours.

  • Add funds to your balance at any time before then and the server is kept and starts again
  • within the hour. Once you have paid, the 48-hour rule no longer applies to you.

Fair use

Servers on the trial credit that run at full power for hours on end (for example mining cryptocurrency) are suspended for review. Sending e-mail directly from the server on port 25 is not possible; use your mail provider on port 587.
