They do not take offending hosts offline. They allow hosts to continue making intrusion attempts, port scanning, and all kinds of nefarious activities. Fuck Digital Ocean! Use a reputable cloud hosting provider.</p>
Paul Chambers🚧<p>Digital Ocean maintenance is currently in progress NYC1. It was supposed to start soon and take 2 hours. If you use DO, I would recommend subscribing to their status.
