What a stateless Docker or API service costs here
$24.00 a month on s-2vcpu-4gb. One always-on instance at 2 vCPU and 4 GB, 100 GB egress. No disk, no database.
Bill breakdown
- Compute $24.00 s-2vcpu-4gb x 1
- Egress $0.00 Inside the 4,000 GiB included allowance
DigitalOcean's extra charges: what the price list does not add up for you
A sticker price is compute. These are the charges that decide what the invoice says, and they are the reason two plans with identical vCPU and RAM can bill very differently.
Egress beyond the allowance $0.01/GiB
Included transfer 500 GiB to 9,000 GiB
Extra storage $0.10/GB-month
