Hey @anishsub,
In our public community, we aim to answer open questions about anything SysAdmin, DigitalOcean and beyond. However, we make every attempt to keep personal information safe and so don’t ever access personal account information here. This means we can’t provide help with any account or billing-related issues.
It’s best to reach out to the DigitalOcean support team who will be more than happy to assist you with your account issue! :)
Hope that helps!
Heya,
Prepaid cards are commonly rejected by hosting and cloud providers because they undermine the provider’s ability to manage risk, fraud, and ongoing billing. The reasons are mostly operational rather than technical.
Try using PayPal as your payment method and see if that works.
Heya, @anishsub
At the moment DigitalOcean does not accept virtual, electron, or prepaid cards. You can check the full Payment Methods information here:
