Hi @yeteepay,
DigitalOcean billing cycles are monthly. Your account balance accrues over the course of the calendar month based on the cost of the resources you use. DigitalOcean also required by law to apply taxes for certain countries.
DigitalOcean automatically invoices and charge your account’s primary payment method on the first day of each month for the previous month’s usage, or partway through the month if you exceed your account’s usage threshold. You can learn more about that here
As for the Desktop Environment. You can use a Linux machine however, Windows machines are not supported on the platform.
