Common Pain Points
How Credits Help
Freelancers should start with a DigitalOcean or Vultr credit account for general project work — simple, affordable, and fast. If your clients use AWS or Azure, invest in a matching free trial or $1K credit account to build platform familiarity. For European freelancers, Hetzner 5-server accounts deliver more compute per euro than any other provider.
