With other providers you either:

a) Pay at the end of the month (good if you are a big company like Amazon) b) Don't let users run machines without credit in their account (DigitalOcean).

Could you explain to me what's the difference between Linode and DigitalOcean in that regard?

The way I use DigitalOcean is to prepay a certain amount (say $100), then use that to pay for my servers when I need them.

If I did similar on Linode it would take the entirety of the month or prorated.
