I’m looking into getting signing up for a new account for cloud 9 to do the backend projects but I need a Credit Card. I don’t have a Credit Card so I was wondering is there a work around for this or another site I can use?

Hey, you can quite easily set up everything locally. Just install node and git and you are good to go. For making the projects, you can also use: [https://hyperdev.com/](https://hyperdev.com/)

@yomok  
**Note: I have never tested this and have no idea if it even works, but it sounds promising.**  
You could try using a [Visa prepaid card](https://vanillavisa.com/) (or some kind of prepaid card of the same type.) They’re essentially a card you put money on that you can use at shops or online. You can (generally) get these at some retail stores. If you do try this method, try leaving the `name on card` field blank.
