We're always looking for ways to help startups get up and running on our platform. If you're not a YC company, reach out to our customer success team. They can help you get started. If you're already a DO user, they can help you scale up. https://www.digitalocean.com/company/contact/sales/

As a non-YC startup, I feel it quite unfair to be subsidizing other startups with our fees to DO. Which is a shame because I really appreciate and enjoy what the DO engineers have done. Nonetheless, I feel slighted, and while I had been otherwise happy with the service I am now all of a sudden incentivized to explore places more ecumenical. The feeling for me will probably pass, but I wonder how many other people hav…
Absolutely. This reads like a big fuck you to anyone that chooses to go it alone and/or doesn't want to submit themselves to the YC complex.

There seems to be a bit of confusion about how we handle kernels at DO. Hopefully I can clear things up a bit. On newer distro versions (e.g. Ubuntu >= 15.04, Debian 8, Fedora, CoreOS, FreeBSD) we no longer use "external" kernels. You are free to compile and use custom kernels. We're happy with what we've seen, and with Ubuntu 16.04 around the corner our default distribution will have support for this as well. After…
Are you planning to offer storage options? I find it's ridiculous to have to upgrade to a higher CPU/RAM plan (or add a new node) just because we're running out of disk space. We don't need detachable volumes or anything fancy, just the ability to increase the amount of disk storage.

How's YC getting a deal for the companies it's funding a slight to all startups? It's not like YC is free or that it's easy to get into YC. DO is doing the deal because they're hoping to cash out servicing a hyper growth company; which in turn would subsidize small fish using DO. Understand the feeling, just don't see the logic.
Aren't there a bunch of offers of free cloud hosting for Startups? We should list them here. And you don't need to be a YC company...... Microsoft Azure gives hosting to startups under their Bizspark program - get over your prejudice - it's a great way to run Linux machines. Softlayer and Rackspace I think also have programs for startups. Any other companies offer free hosting to startups?
Google has an awesome plan too https://cloud.google.com/developers/startups/

Really? If I want to discuss pricing, a sales guy is exactly who I want to talk to.
