Had trouble signing up for Digital Ocean, called up their support team, got a really bad response and decided I'll just blacklist them.
If they were giving me trouble during sign up then what hope was there for support afterwards?

#32This is not unique, unfortunately. I have been battling with them for the last two months now and I am in the process of moving everything away from DigitalOcean. Something has changed over there and they have zero tolerance concerning everything. My account was overdue by $10 (after being paid on time for close to 5 years), I asked for a deadline extension of 1 week and it was declined. They have already turned off…

#33Earlier quoted context omitted.
What are popular alternatives these days?
Hetzner Cloud
When I signed up and put in my credit card details, they immediately cancelled my order and completely deleted my account. I had to resort to moaning at them on twitter to get them to unblock me, which they did. Bit of a rubbish start to the journey though.

Very strange, I've heard of multiple people having these sorts of issues with them, but it just worked when I signed up. Maybe they have some overzealous fraud detection going on?

#35So go to any provider website, order bare metal server where proxmox installation will cover your requirements. Own VPS hosting is always better then cloud vps.
