How to Buy a DigitalOcean Account
You can buy a verified DigitalOcean account from Cloud Accounts — account types include Free Trial, Close Port (3/10/25 droplets), and Open Port 25 (3/10/25 droplets). Prices start at $20, delivery is 30 minutes to 12 hours, and all accounts are verified before delivery.
Buying a DigitalOcean account through Cloud Accounts is straightforward. We offer seven distinct DigitalOcean account types:
Free Trial Account ($20)
A verified DigitalOcean account with trial credits. Access to all droplet types, Spaces object storage, Managed Databases, and Kubernetes. Ideal for exploring the platform without commitment.
Close Port Accounts (Standard SMTP)
- 3 droplets: $29 — for small projects and personal use - 10 droplets: $39 — for development teams with multiple projects - 25 droplets: $50 — for agencies or businesses running many services
These accounts have standard port configuration. Port 25 (SMTP) is restricted, which is the default for all new DigitalOcean accounts.
Open Port 25 Accounts (SMTP Enabled)
- 3 droplets + port 25 open: $99 - 10 droplets + port 25 open: $199 - 25 droplets + port 25 open: $299
These accounts have the port 25 restriction removed — you can run mail servers, SMTP relays, or any outbound email infrastructure directly on your droplets.
Which to Choose
- Testing DigitalOcean: Free Trial ($20) - Standard web/app hosting: Close Port 10 ($39) or 25 ($50) - Mail server operation: Open Port 3 ($99) or higher - Agency multi-site hosting: Close Port 25 ($50) or Open Port 25 ($299)
After Purchase
Credentials are delivered via secure channel within 30 minutes to 12 hours. All accounts are tested before delivery. The 7-day replacement guarantee covers select tiers.
Buying cloud credits from Cloud Accounts is typically 60–80% cheaper than retail rates from AWS, GCP, or Azure. For immediate access without application processes or waiting periods, it's the fastest path to cloud infrastructure.

Close port accounts have standard DigitalOcean firewall settings with SMTP (port 25) blocked — the default for all new DO accounts. Open port accounts have port 25 restriction removed, enabling mail server hosting.
