On a somewhat related note, what is the best way for startups to work with DO to get free cloud computing? My product is a search and analytics engine for github and I would like to offer a free version for people to use and I would like them to use DO since I find it has the best bang for the buck.

I can see people that would like to use my solution to not need the bells and whistles of aws, azure, etc.

Does DO provide startup assistance like Microsoft, which gives free cloud computing? My goal would be to say something like try DO free for a week and if you like it, continue using them.

DO used to have referral credits. A $5 of referral credit could feed a $20 instance for a week, of the smallest instance for a month.
