Why is it that digital ocean do not support any other currency than USD?
I don’t think you should be allowed to have a data centre in whatever country you are in if you don’t support its local currency.
If I pay in USD my credit card will charge me extra for paying in a foreign currency. It wouldn’t be an issue if I could use my prepaid Mastercard but you won’t allow this!

It’s true that banks have an annoying habit of making charges and a margin on foreign currency which can be disproportionate on smaller transactions. However Digital Ocean accept Paypal. If you have a PP account you can maintain a balance in USD as well as your local currency. Paying from a PP USD balance will not incur charges though you will have to accept Paypal’s exchange rate when transferring funds from your local currency.
hmmm, I would have thought if you transact across/multiple continents. You should be able to provide multiple currencies (or at least several main ones) to stay relevant? It doesn’t take long to code this into your billing system.
