Hey there David,

Right now, we do not offer droplets except in the set sizes that are shown on https://digitalocean.com/pricing/. There are a lot of reasons behind this. Hopefully soon, we’ll have a storage solution that could help out in your case.

In the mean time, you’ve got a few options. The easiest is just to resize to a larger droplet. This is going to offer the best performance option if you need more space. Second, you could shard across multiple droplets.

Another option would be a little wacky but would work out ok. One of the projects I use pretty heavily on my personal droplets is GlusterFS. You could use gluster to stick together the spare space you have on multiple droplets to create a network share you can mount up. There is a basic tutorial on doing this here. There is going to be a performance hit on doing this so I would strongly suggest doing some testing before committing to go this route.

If this was my project and my data, I’d resize to a larger droplet but now you have a few options you can look at :)

Happy Coding!
