Cloud Accounts for Developers

Instant, API-ready accounts for building, testing, and shipping.

Developers need cloud infrastructure that's ready immediately, fully API-accessible, and affordable enough for personal projects and side hustles. Whether you're spinning up a dev environment, testing a new framework, hosting a side project, or running CI workloads, a verified cloud account gets you coding right away. Every account includes API tokens or keys for automation with Terraform, the CLI, and your favorite tooling. Here are our top picks for developers.

Hetzner and DigitalOcean keep costs low for dev servers that run 24/7.
