Yesterday, network access was taken down to sharethesafety.org which was hosted on our service by a customer, an intermediate platform provider. We want to let you know what happen…

Hey, full disclosure I’m the CEO and cofounder at DO. We built DigitalOcean specifically for developers at startups, SaaS and small-medium businesses concentrating on simplifying c…

Thanks for pointing this out, nearly 1 year ago we implemented a backup mechanism which stores a destroyed machine for 24 hours. This is only enabled for users with a valid paying …

Hi, Ben from DigitalOcean here - just to give you guys an update. This method will no longer work on a newly created droplet. We've now default scrub_data to ON for both web interf…

Hi, this is Ben, CEO and Co-Founder of DigitalOcean, we have received the document and will discuss the matter publicly. ----- All times are UTC. Our monitoring picked up a malicio…

A signed letter allowing us to discuss your private account details that would violate our 'Privacy Policy' and reveal the factors that went into making the decision.

All machines in NYC2 region are accessible via this private network.

That is correct, it's not bound by tenant. Most other providers do not restrict private network either, I'm talking about the big ones like RackSpace, Amazon and others. What you'r…

A cloud is not defined by high availability. Just look at Amazon's cloud - so many single points of failure. Amazon says to distribute your application and redundancy across multip…

The default is 5 servers to allow us to verify users. If you hit the limit you can request more servers, there is no actual limit if your account is verified and in good standing.

Hi, I'm the CEO of DigitalOcean and we are not operating on a fantasy revenue model. All of our unit economics are positive and we are certainly here for the long haul with a susta…

Even though our pricing is low we still generate profit on every unit that we sell, therefore we will be around for a long time. We have a ton of expertise in the server industry a…

DigitalOcean recently became fully integrated with Cloud66.com just last week. It's a great way to easily spin up a new server, and echo's our mantra of simple cloud hosting.

>My personal question is: are DigitalOcean making a profit? Yes. If you do the math they actually do break even and manage to squeeze some profit.

It is one of our most up-voted features and we will begin building out storage solutions this month now that our SSD/RAM upgrades are finished. We are still deciding whether to rol…

We've seen a high failure rate on SSD compared to SAS & SATA drives. All of our servers are in a RAID environment, so a single failure does not take the system offline. Additionall…
