Spaces Object Storage is an S3-compatible service for storing and serving large amounts of data. The built-in Spaces CDN minimizes page load times, improves performance, and reduces bandwidth and infrastructure costs.

The base rate of a Spaces subscription is $5.00 per month and gives you the ability to create multiple Spaces buckets.

Spaces Standard Storage

The base subscription includes 250 GiB of storage across all of your buckets.

Additional storage beyond this allotment costs $0.02 per GiB per month.

If you destroy all buckets and cancel your subscription, your bill is prorated hourly.

Bandwidth

Spaces subscriptions include 1,024 GiB of outbound data transfer (from Spaces buckets to the internet), which is shared between all buckets. Additional outbound transfer is $0.01 per GiB. Outbound data transfer is free in the following cases:

  • From Spaces in NYC3 to Droplets in NYC1, NYC2, and NYC3
  • From Spaces in SGP1 to Droplets in SGP1
  • From Spaces in SFO2 to Droplets in SFO1, SFO2, and SFO3
  • From Spaces in SFO3 to Droplets in SFO1, SFO2, and SFO3
  • From Spaces in AMS3 to Droplets in AMS2 and AMS3
  • From Spaces in FRA1 to Droplets in FRA1
  • From Spaces in SYD1 to Droplets in SYD1
  • From Spaces in BLR1 to Droplets in BLR1

Inbound bandwidth to Spaces never counts against your Spaces transfer allowance.

Droplets have their own transfer allowance, independent of Spaces. Traffic from Droplets to Spaces does not count against your Spaces transfer allowance (because inbound bandwidth to Spaces is free), but does currently count against your Droplets’ outbound transfer allowance.

Invoices include a breakdown of bandwidth usage and cost per Spaces bucket. If you have 100 or more Spaces buckets, you can only view this breakdown in the CSV version of the invoice. To view or download invoices, see our Invoices billing page.

Content Delivery Network (CDN)

The Spaces Content Delivery Network (CDN) is available at no additional cost. The transfer allowance that comes with the base Spaces subscription covers both CDN bandwidth and origin bandwidth. Transfer between the origin and the edge servers is calculated as part of the transfer allowance.

Note
In order to protect our platform from bad actors, we remove access to Spaces within a week for certain accounts that experience billing failures. If you are a new DigitalOcean customer and your monthly billing fails, you may lose access to Spaces if your payment does not resolve within a week. For more details, see Late Payments.

Spaces Cold Storage

Spaces Cold Storage is a low-cost storage class optimized for data that is accessed infrequently and retained for long periods. Pricing reflects the longer minimum retention period requirement and retrieval-based trade-offs.

Cold Storage usage is billed per GiB stored and per GiB retrieved:

  • Storage: $0.007 per GiB per month.

  • Retrieval: $0.01 per GiB retrieved.

    Retrieval fees are waived for data retrieved up to your average daily Cold Storage usage for the month.

  • Early Deletion and Update: $0.007 per GiB applies when you delete or update objects before the 30-day minimum retention period. Early deletions or updates are billed proportionally for the remaining retention time. The first 250 GiB of early deletions or updates per month are free, and then any additional early deletions or updates are billed at the early deletion or update rate.

Objects smaller than 128 KiB are billed as 128 KiB. Each read operation incurs a 128 KiB minimum retrieval charge, even for partial or smaller reads. Overwrites count as a delete followed by a recreate.
