DigitalOcean Droplet

What is DigitalOcean

DigitalOcean is a cloud infrastructure provider focused on simplifying web infrastructure for software developers.

Each Droplet is billed per hour up to its monthly cap. You can choose to fund your account via PayPal or you can pay your monthly bill via credit card. (for 10$ bonus credits see "Create an Account".

For more information see: https://www.digitalocean.com/help/

Why using DigitalOcean?

I'm using it because it's a cheap way to fire up temporary servers. If you destroy your droplet (server) after use, you will not be billed anymore. If you need your servers for two hours for exmaple, only 0.02$ will be billed.

Create an Account

If you don't have an account, you can create one by using the following ref link: Create an Account at digitalocean.com Since the account is created, you will get 10$ in credits as reward.

Note: Change the <VARIABLES> with your data.

After the server is created, you'll get an email with login information (ip address, root password). Type in the ip address in your browser to show up the PokemonGo-Map.

Note: The process will take a few minutes after you get the mail to setup the application (PokemonGo-Map).
