Transparent and predictable pricing
At DigitalOcean, we're on a mission to simplify the complexities of infrastructure and that includes pricing.
We believe that pricing should be straightforward and predictable. That is why all Droplets are billed hourly, up to a monthly cap of 672 hours. (Why 672 hours? That’s the number of hours in 4 weeks.) There are no surprises at the end of the month when you receive your bill—it’s that simple.
Frequently asked questions
Have more questions? Visit our Pricing & Billing FAQ.
- What forms of payment do you accept?
- We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and PayPal. For additional payment options, like Wire Transfer, purchase orders and ACH, please contact your CSM sales.
- How does hourly pricing work?
-
All Droplets are billed hourly, up until a monthly cap of 672 hours (the number of hours in 4 weeks).
If you use your server for fewer than 672 hours during the month, you will be billed for each hour that you used it. If you use your server for more than 672 hours that month, you will be billed at the monthly cost.
We calculate Droplet invoices this way so that consistent month-to-month usage results in a consistent invoice.
- Will taxes be included in my monthly invoice?
- Yes, if you live in Canada, India, or the EU. Please review the tax help sections on the Pricing & Billing page for more information.
- Am I charged when I enter my credit card?
- No—when you enter a card, we only verify the card. Your card is charged at the end of the billing cycle.
