+## Select a Droplet (optional)
+
+The default option is the `s-1vcpu-1gb` because it is available in all regions. However, you may want to switch to a cheaper droplet such as `s-1vcpu-512mb-10gb` even though it is not available in all regions. This can be edited in the [Configuration File](config.cfg) under `cloud_providers > digitalocean > size`. See this brief comparison between the two droplets below:
+
+| Droplet Type | Monthly Cost | Bandwidth | Availability |
+|:--|:-:|:-:|:--|
+| `s-1vcpu-512mb-10gb` | $4/month | 0.5 TB | Limited |
+| `s-1vcpu-1gb`        | $6/month | 1.0 TB | All regions |
+| ... | ... | ... | ... |
+
+*Note: Exceeding bandwidth limits costs $0.01/GiB at time of writing ([docs](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/billing/bandwidth/#droplets)). See the live list of droplets [here](https://slugs.do-api.dev/).*
