Billing¶

FOSS@MAGIC covers the expenses for the Droplets on a monthly basis. This is set up with automatic billing to the RIT MAGIC Center via an RIT-managed credit card.

Droplets¶

Droplets are the billable “unit” in DigitalOcean. They represent a specific service or server.

Services¶

Currently, only one service is hosted as a DigitalOcean Droplet:
