We have some exciting news about Droplet plans. Today we are upgrading CPUs, memory, and SSD storage across our Droplet classes and introducing a few new plans. These new plans provide flexible and scalable compute services with some of the best price to performance available.

Here are the new and updated plans:

Standard Droplets $5/month 512mb RAM to 1gb, vCPU 1, SSD 20gb to 25GB $10/month 1gb RAM to 2gb, vCPU 1, SSD 30gb to 50GB $15/month (NEW PLAN) 3gb (1 vCPU), 2GB (2 vCPU), 1GB (3 vCPU) all with 60GB SSD Basically double everything from there with a new $160 and $480 options

Optimized Droplets (formerly High CPU Droplets) $40/month 3gb RAM to 4gb, 20gb SSD to 25GB $80/month 6gb RAM to 8gb, 20gb SSD to 50GB $160/month 12gb RAM to 16gb, 20gb SSD to 100GB $320/month 24gb RAM to 32gb, 20gb SSD to 200GB $640/month 48gb RAM to 64gb, 20gb SSD to 400GB

In addition, coming later this year, per second billing, which aligns with Google App engine pricing model.

We``'``re working hard at making continuous improvements to our billing system in order to align with changes in customer Droplet usage behavior. We``'``re happy to share that starting later this year, Droplets will be billed by the second instead of by the hour. This means that you``'``ll only be charged for exactly the amount of time you use your instance to the second. We understand it is important for customers scaling instances up and down regularly to have the best rate available and we``'``re happy to get this update shipped for you. Keep an eye out for a future announcement specifically on billing improvements.
