We now support ACH direct debit payments for qualifying customers with U.S. bank accounts. Learn more about managing payment methods on DigitalOcean.

Users who sign up for DigitalOcean through the referral program now receive a $200 account credit, increased from $100.
You can now set up automatic recurring payments with PayPal. You can still log in to make one time payments with PayPal. Learn more about how to pay your bill.
The following pricing changes are now in effect:
A new $4 Droplet with 512MB of memory, 10GB of storage, 1 vCPU, and 500GB of outbound data transfer is now available in NYC1, FRA1, SFO3, SGP1, and AMS3. The slug is s-1vcpu-512mb-10gb.
We have simplified pricing for DigitalOcean Kubernetes and some Managed Databases for better accuracy and predictibility.
The prices of Droplets, Snapshots, Load Balancers, Reserved IPs, and Custom Images have increased.
There is no change to pricing for Spaces, backups, volumes, DigitalOcean Container Registry, or App Platform. There are also no changes to inbound data transfer or bandwidth pricing.
This is our first major price change in 10 years, and we believe the new model better fits our understanding of our customers and the expanded breadth of our offerings. For a more detailed breakdown of the changes, see our blog post on our new pricing.
We now support adding Google Pay as a stored payment method for Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Brave, Microsoft Edge).
We now support Google Pay for one-time payments.
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.
Fixed a bug with DigitalOcean Load Balancers that prevented outbound data transfer from Droplets from being added to bandwidth usage totals. Any inconsistencies will be updated on the April invoice.
Unassigned floating IP charges will now appear on invoices. The first charge will appear on July 2020 invoices for all floating IPs that were not assigned to Droplets during the month of June.
Users can now specify the payment method and amount when making payments on the billing page.
Bandwidth billing for Managed Databases, originally slated to begin in January 2020, has been postponed to 2021. Egress bandwidth for Managed Databases clusters will continue to be waived until then.
DigitalOcean now supports 3-D Secure (3DS) second-factor payment authentication, allowing us to accept payment from banks that require it.
The Billing page in the control panel now splits the costs displayed between payment due and the amount not yet billed for the active billing cycle.
Users can now specify an account address within their Billing Settings. This address will be reflected on invoices and will also be used to determine tax location. Learn more about tax locations.
The credit card input form on the billing page in the control panel has been modified to simplify billing address entry.
Downloadable CSV invoices available on the control panel billing page have been updated to include project names for each Droplet.
The control panel billing page now includes a breakdown of your spending and a downloadable PDF of your invoice.
To help customers track their credits, beginning in April we will send invoice emails when customers use any resources during a billing period, regardless of an account’s outstanding balance. Previously, invoices were sent only when the outstanding balance exceeded the threshold for automatic payments.
DOKS customers will now be able to see the cost of their Kubernetes nodes and load balancers aggregated by cluster name within a Kubernetes clusters group on their invoice. Volumes and volume snapshots used in a DOKS cluster are not yet included in the cluster aggregation.
Users with credits will automatically receive an email notification when account usage exceeds their promo code credit and any prepay balance.
Monthly billing emails now include a PDF invoice attachment.
The first version of monthly billing emails with attached PDF invoices was released to a small group of beta customers.
Began incremental release of invoice aggregation for users with more than 3000 invoice line items.
Customers with multiple credit cards on file can now choose which one is billed by default on the billing page.
You can now edit the card holder name, expiration date, CVC code, and billing address for existing credit card on the Account Billing page.
The changes to Droplet bandwidth billing announced on April 24 were put into effect.
Spaces will send billing data for active users within 2 hours of usage, down from a 4-5 day processing time. Previously, some users who were not billed for overages because of the processing delay may see their bill go up based on their actual usage.
Changes to Droplet Bandwidth Billing announced. The new billing plan goes into effect June 1. Charges for June, if any, will appear on the July 1 bill. Customers can view usage and billing information on their billing page.
Debit cards from any country can be used for payment once a temporary pre-authorization charge of $1 is successful.
Spaces users no longer need to cancel their Spaces subscription via the Spaces UI when they want to stop using Spaces. Now, any time a Spaces user destroys their last Space, their pro-rated $5/month billing (if not in the free trial period) stops. Overage charges still apply if they were incurred before deletion of the last Space.
