To cut a long story short, the new plans come with more CPUs, memory, and SSD storage whilst pricing still starts from as low as $5 per month. The new Droplet plans offer some of the best price to performance available, saving at least 29% and up to 55% compared to other leading cloud compute providers. Check out all the various changes below.

  • 3 New flexible plans with different sets of CPU and memory with a reasonable price tag of $15 per month
  • New plans with 48GB & 192GB RAM
  • High CPU Plans are now called Optimized Plans
  • Depreciation of High Memory Plans as a result of the improved Standard Plans

For the very future, DigitalOcean are planning to introduce Per-Second Billing. Then you will be charged for exactly the amount of time that you are using your Droplet(s).

Managed Cloud Hosting

If you prefer managed cloud hosting powered by DigitalOcean, then Cloudways is for you. With the revised DO pricing, Cloudways are passing on the savings to their customers for all new servers launched from January 23, 2018. As 512MB servers are discontinued, Cloudways is encouraging customers to upgrade to 1GB servers. Existing 512MB servers will continue to function at the old price of $7/mo though.
