Hi. The site has a lot of products… I really don’t understand most of them… and Im a simple user… so Im little lost in the website… I have been recommended to this website from friends that work with digitalocean services… my question I think is very simple… I need a hosting for my website… its a simple website because it is a simple landing page… I have the domain and the website builded… The only thing I need is the host… a place to upload the files and watch the website running… Considering that Im a basic user with no much demands…I want to know 3 things… 1° I will be billed by month? Or by year? It is possible to choose? 2° How much do I have to pay by month or by year, how much amount, please clarify me. 3° How do I adquire this service… Web hosting… which are the steps or where do I have to click to adquire them… 4º How much space do I have, do I have a smtp server or email
Thanks in advance.
Stéfano.

Hi @tefatenuta,
I’ll reply to your questions in the order you’ve asked them. If I miss somethings, please let me know and I’ll correct it.
Let me summarize these two questions so far. On this page here:
You can see all the droplets that are being provided. What I’ll recommend is to go for the smallest Basic Droplet. Almost all the time it will be enough for your needs, it’s the cheapest and can always be upgraded. The price as I can see currently is 5$ per month (without the bandwidth billing). I have such a droplet and my bills come about 7$ per month but that’s based on traffic.
Having said that, I’ll recommend choosing one Droplet from the MarketPlace. It comes with everything you need pre-installed -
That’s the LAMP droplet, it comes with Apache2, MySQL, PHP, Fail2BAN, Postfix and Certbot. With these, you can have a website, e-mails, and everything needed to host a website.
Hope this helps!
