Why does this charge appear?

DigitalOcean uses the truncated descriptor "DIGITALOCEAN*" on bank statements because payment networks like Visa and Mastercard enforce strict character limits on merchant descriptors, typically capping them at 22 characters or fewer depending on the card network and issuing bank. The asterisk in "DIGITALOCEAN*" is a standard formatting convention used by their payment processor to separate the merchant name from a dynamic suffix, which may include a billing reference or service identifier that gets appended during transaction processing. If you see this on your statement, it almost certainly reflects a monthly charge for one of DigitalOcean's cloud infrastructure services, such as a Droplet, managed database, or Kubernetes cluster.
