Kubernetes
DigitalOcean Kubernetes provides master server components for free. This includes compute and storage infrastructure and management for processes like etcd, kube-apiserver, kube-controller-manager, kube-scheduler, cloud-controller-manager, and other services for Kubernetes cluster management.
Customers are billed for the underlying resources used by their Kubernetes worker nodes, which could include Droplets, highly available Block Storage and Load Balancers.
Sign up for DigitalOcean Kubernetes on the product page.
Only public outgoing transfers are considered for bandwidth billing. Transfer limits are calculated by pooling the transfer from all droplets on the account. Overages above pooled transfer will be charged at a rate of $0.01/GB.
Spaces
Simple and scalable S3-compatible object storage with a built-in content delivery network (CDN) to store, serve, backup, and archive any amount of web content, images, media, and static files for your web applications. Pricing starts at $5 per month and includes:
- 250 GB of storage
- 1 TB of outbound transfer (CDN included)
- $0.02 per additional GB stored
- $0.01 per additional GB transferred (CDN included)
Block Storage
Attach additional SSD-based Block Storage volumes to your Droplet to suit your database, file storage, application, service, mobile, and backup needs. Pricing starts at $0.10/GB per month. Learn more
Backups
The pricing for backups is 20% of the cost of your virtual machine. So if you want to enable backups for a $5/mo. Droplet, the cost of the backup will be $1 per month.
20% of compute pricing
Snapshots
Snapshot pricing is based on the utilized space within the filesystem. Snapshots that are destroyed before the month is over will be charged hourly, just like Droplets.
$0.05 per GB per month
Highly Available Services
- Load Balancers
-
Automatically distribute incoming traffic across your Droplets, enabling you to build more reliable and performant applications by creating redundancy. Load Balancers are billed hourly at $0.015, with no additional bandwidth charges. Available in all datacenter regions. Learn more
$10/mo per Load Balancer
- Floating IPs
-
Floating IPs are free to use as long as they are attached to a Droplet. Due to limited IPv4 availability, we charge $0.006 per hour for floating IPs that have been reserved but not assigned to a Droplet. Learn more
$0.006/hour per unassigned IP

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?
- We’re required by law to collect taxes in some countries. Check out the tax information documentation for details.
- 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.
