Starting 1 January 2026, Droplets are billed per-second, with a minimum charge of 60 seconds or $0.01, whichever is higher.

DigitalOcean Managed Caching is being discontinued on 30 June 2025.
To replace Managed Caching, we are offering Managed Valkey, a Redis-compatible alternative with RDMA and higher throughput. All existing Managed Caching clusters automatically convert to Valkey clusters by 30 June 2025 during your upgrade window, retaining all data.

Now in public preview, you can customize a usage-based backup plan for regular and GPU Droplets. This plan’s cost is based on the amount of storage your backups use, instead of a flat percentage of the Droplet’s cost. Additionally, you can configure how often backups happen and for how long you retain them.
-
The OpenAI GPT-image-1 model is now available on DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Platform. See all available models.

- Dedicated General Purpose Regular: 6.5x SSD variant
- Dedicated General Purpose Premium: 5.5x SSD variant
The new plans are available in all datacenters. However, Regular CPU versions are not available in ATL1.
