Digital Ocean NYC2 Droplets Down

#1
And counting. Second time in about a week and during prime time hours. If it doesn't get up quickly or if happens again to NYC2 in the next few weeks may be time to reconsider DO for hosting production sites. I love them, and glitches happen, but twice in a row clients have a hard time swallowing.

It seems to be http (perhaps load balancers) rather than the instances being down - I'm ssh-ed into a droplet and everything is working fine, except remote HTTP connections.

I ssh-ed into some droplets, but others are completely inacessible outside DO. The internal network works fine, so it is just a several network outage. Again.

I'd love to know what's going on. My website hosted on DO, michaelbreedlove.net, is unavailable. I also have a few services running on subdomains of the same DO VPS instance; they're all accessible. I also have SSH access. They seem to be having some serious HTTP routing issues.

I just created a droplet today, and was trying for the life of me to figure out what I would have done so early on in setting it up to cause it to become unresponsive. Glad to see it's not just me. It's not really a great sign though, as I was hoping to use this fairly frequently. Is this a common occurrence, or do I just have bad luck? If so, I'll definitely have to find another solution.

I'm struggling to ssh into droplets, but it seemed like when I was ssh'd in, I didn't have an issue at all.

What happens when you try to execute outbound web requests from the instance?

Having previously left Linode for Digital Ocean due to lower pricing and SSDs, I can safely say Linode both dropped their prices and matched the DO plans with SSDs included. If you want to jump ship, that's the route I'd go for a comparable.

I still love DO, but downtime is a no-no when it comes to VPSes.
