There are two ways of working with DigitalOcean accounts: with individual accounts and with teams.
Individual accounts. Your individual account allows you, as a single user, to manage your infrastructure and billing.
Teams. Teams allow groups to work together, providing full access for developers as well as a role for one or more dedicating billing contacts. You can create teams from your individual account.
Account verification is automatic and happens usually within 30 days of opening and using your account. Under some circumstances, you may be asked to provide photo ID. After you become a verified user, you can manually charge your credit card by using the Pay now button on your billing page.
Once your account is verified, we will periodically increase your Droplet limit. You can also view your account or team’s Droplet limit and request an increase from your account settings page. After reviewing your request, we’ll be able to update your limit.
Before your account is verified, you can create volumes up to 500 GB in size. After your account is verified, you can create volumes of any available size.
You can now opt out of DigitalOcean automatically creating DNS records for Let’s Encrypt certificates during SSL certificate creation, load balancer creation, and SSL forwarding rule management.
Team members with the biller role no longer have view-only access to a team’s shared resources. Billers have full access to billing information only and no access to shared resources or team settings.
When updating an SSH key’s name using the API, if the request body does not contain a new name, the SSH key’s name will now retain its previous value. Previously, if the request body did not contain a new name, the SSH key’s name would update to a default value of either the comment field or the first 23 characters from the public key.
