Just 2 let you know, DigitalOcean has a new Promo: $15 free aka 3 months free droplet.
Guard/Middle is no problem at all. My exits have been kicked after around 4 months (too many abuse mails :( )
Promocode: LOWENDBOX
https://lowendbox.com/blog/september-hosting-vps-coupon-round-up/
I do not get any money from it, just to let you know, DigitalOcean is already big in the Tor network but its free money :)

I have tried creating an additional Droplet, but it seems that promo codes cannot be entered anywhere in this process. Probably only when registering a new customer account, I suppose?

That code only works with new registrations.

It's in the billing settings after you log in.

This is great. I have just entered the promo code in the billing section of my account, and voilà, $15 have been added. Thank you, Tristan, for pointing me to the right place, and thanks to Markus for mentioning the promo.

You are welcome :)
JUST A NOTE: TRAFFIC IS F R E E and UNLIMITED. You don't have to worry about the $20/TB at all. ATM! This can chance anytime but atm the traffic is FREE! Use is, there are lots of high traffic tor nodes out there. Join them ;)

Two problems with proclamations like these:
A) Tor network gets even more DigitalOcean based relays, which are already kind of discouraged due to them comprising an overly significant part of the network as it is;
B) tons of very heavy bandwidth users sign up at DO all at once (not to mention all using the free credit coupon!), putting an increased load on their networks, and quite likely moving the "Implement bandwidth billing" thing up in priorities a notch or two (which will end up diminishing the value of DO's offers for many of their users, not just for Tor relay operators).
IOW you could do better than posting the entire thing here. :)
Maybe we are limited to only one promo code of that nature? I used DIVEIN10 about two years ago and using LOWENDBOX says "Sorry, this promo cannot be applied to your account. Most promos are valid for new customers only."

No idea. This is the first promo code I've used.

Yes, just create a new account, they don't check any data, you just need a new (free) e-mail and enter the promo code at signup. Worked great here and we now have a new India droplet :)
Btw, asian country relays worked out bad with tor. Around 1-2 Mbyte traffic :( no clue why.
