CloudPay DigitalOcean with a ZyloCard virtual card
Droplets and add-ons bill by the hour, so a server you forgot to kill keeps charging. New accounts usually eat a card verification hold, and the costs creep up across a pile of small resources.
DigitalOcean hands you Droplets, managed databases, and app hosting, all billed by usage.
