Alright, so you wanna spin up a DigitalOcean server? Here’s how I’d walk you through it, like I’m texting a friend who’s only half-paying attention.
First things first: make a new email. Don’t use that ancient Hotmail account you’ve had since middle school. Sign up at DigitalOcean with your shiny new inbox.
Next up, SOCKS5 proxy time. Yeah, it sounds like a spy movie, but it’s just picking a proxy from the same country as your credit card. Why? Sometimes payment stuff gets weird if things don’t match. Just trust me on this one.
Then, DigitalOcean will hit you with one of those “please verify your email” things. Click the link, don’t overthink it.
Now comes the moment of truth: billing info. Type in your credit card details. Triple check your numbers—nobody wants a declined card at step five, right?
Pick your server—don’t get wild, just go for the 2GB RAM one for now. You can always upgrade later, when you’re feeling rich or reckless.
After you order, DigitalOcean just chills for a day. Then—bam—they’ll try to charge your card. If it works, congrats! You can now grab bigger, fancier servers (like, $600/month level, which is probably overkill unless you’re launching the next Facebook).
Oh, and they bill hourly. So if you forget about your server for a month, don’t be shocked by the bill. Set a reminder or something.
One last thing—don’t do anything shady. Stick to their rules and, you know, don’t become a cybercriminal. Servers are cool, but orange jumpsuits? Not so much.
