I wish Digital Ocean would allow this. My country's debit/credit cards don't work online reliably, my attached cards can start getting rejected randomly any time. I'm always nervous about getting my account suspended due to missed payments, DO is pretty forgiving thankfully.

Interesting, I had the opposite experience. The cardholder forgot what Digital Ocean was and placed a chargeback. Do immediately locked my account which had been in good standing for years. I couldn't log in the console or API to do anything. I wrote about it here if you're interested to learn more: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25806086

Linode is very similar pricing/offering and has incredible customer service. I'm very happy with them.

Linode allows you to pre-fund your account.
They do with PayPal at least.

Their emails even use language like "you need to top up your account".
