Cancel DigitalOcean
Billing is by usage, so destroy every droplet, database, load balancer and registry first or charges keep running. Then scroll to Deactivate account, click Deactivate twice and confirm. You can reactivate later unless you purge your data.
Go to DigitalOcean’s cancel page
Opens cloud.digitalocean.com in a new tab. You will need to log in.
