Question
Should not you tell clearly what is possible and what is not before collecting credit card info?
Hi, i wanted to register and spin up a word press site .. i chose digital ocean after comparing it with other providers regarding the quality and the price .. but once i started to create a droplet with word press, it told me that i need 30Gb disk at least .. which mean i should go with the higher plan (10$).
i have seen all the tutorials on the internet with the same word press and ubuntu and with the 5$ plan, and i have made my decision based on that price.
i think you should either clearly explain the restrictions or provide us at least with an option to increase the Hard disk capacity without going the full 10$ plan.
thanks,

If you choose the WordPress image it will prevent you from selecting the $5 plan because 512MB of RAM isn’t enough for WordPress.
However you are free to install Ubuntu or any other base OS image on a $5 plan and setup LAMP and WordPress yourself. It’ll be able to serve low traffic websites.
yeah thanks, a little bit longer way but it will work.
Note: if wordpress doesn’t work properly on 512MB of RAM, so maybe i think that the hint box should mention that instead of saying that wordpress requires 30GB of storage which is unrealistic.
