About this program
DigitalOcean is a cloud computing platform focused on simplicity and developer experience. It offers Droplets (virtual machines), Kubernetes, managed databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB), App Platform (PaaS), Spaces (S3-compatible object storage), and more. Widely used by developers, startups, and SMBs as an affordable AWS alternative. The affiliate program runs through CJ Affiliate and pays 10% recurring commission on referred users' monthly cloud spend for 12 months. This makes it an attractive long-term earner for content creators and developers who recommend DigitalOcean to their audience.

How to get started
01
Apply
Use the "Apply now" button above to go to Digitalocean’s own affiliate/partner page. Most programs ask for your website or channel URL and a line or two about your audience.
02
Get approved
Approval happens on the program’s side, not refyr’s — timelines vary from same-day to a couple of weeks depending on how manually they review applicants.
03
Get your tracking link
Once approved, the program’s own affiliate dashboard gives you a unique tracking link (sometimes a coupon code too) — that link is what attributes a sale or signup back to you.
04
Embed it in content
Drop your tracking link wherever it’s genuinely relevant to your audience — a review, resource page, or recommendation post, not a generic banner.
Questions about this program
How long does approval usually take?
This varies by merchant and isn’t something refyr tracks directly — some programs approve automatically or within a day, others manually review every applicant and can take a couple of weeks. Check the program’s own application page for their stated timeline.
How do I actually get paid?
Digitalocean lists paypal, bank_transfer, wire as accepted payment methods. Payout schedule is listed as monthly.
Is there a minimum payout threshold?
Yes — Digitalocean requires your balance to reach $50 before it pays out.
How long does the commission last?
Listed commission length is 12 months. Confirm the current terms on the program’s affiliate page during application.
Is the commission rate on this page guaranteed?
It’s refyr’s most recently verified figure, not a live feed from the merchant — commission terms can change on the program’s side without notice. Always confirm the current rate during application.
What if the apply link doesn’t work?
Every apply link is periodically re-checked automatically; a link that keeps failing gets flagged stale, then dead, right on this page. If you hit a dead link we haven’t caught yet, let us know via Contact.
