Knowing that I can use apache to host multiple websites can I allow users to sign up and use the server I have paid for?
And if so would I be able to set disk quotas?
And is it against the terms and conditions to charge for this?

Yes you can add multiple users. For security I highly recommend making sure they can login with SSH Keys only!

See https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-enable-user-and-group-quotas to setup quotas.

How To Enable User and Group Quotas

Quotas are used to limit the amount of disk space a user or group can use on the server. There are generally two different methods of managing quotas: first, an empty file system can be created and mounted for a specific user.

    As far as I know DO could care less what you are doing with a droplet as long as it is legal and not in violation of TOS.

    You will find that several folks are reselling services on droplets.
