Er, no. My droplets are up. Never went down today. Also, please don't post that things are down here on HN. This is not a support forum. Not for DO, not for AWS.

You came here after it was fixed. It is fine now. Also, it was just NYC2, maybe only part of it.
Check http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com instead of HN.

Mine are on NYC2. Terminal sessions up all day. On three of them. Check http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com instead of HN.

Or you could check the official status page[1] and see that there was indeed an outage. [1] https://status.digitalocean.com/

I find that surprising. Linode support never contacted me regarding resource usage. Not even when one of the servers has been under DDOS. I contacted them first notifying of such event. And that was it. I agree with harpastum. I think you're confusing automatic email notifications based on your own settings with Linode support. I feel like you have to seriously abuse their infrastructure to get them to contact you. D…
http://i.imgur.com/UCPWdBq.png I was not confusing automated emails with direct contact from Linode support. I fully understand and can appreciate the need to be a "nice neighbor" in a shared environment but what baffles me is: 1) Linode doesn't have the capability to actually enforce any sort of quota or limit. It's 2014, there's been numerous advancements in the area of virtualized servers in the past decade. cgrou…
It's their job to limit resources on your node, not your job to self-limit. Asking you to limit resources because it's "affecting other customers' performance" is not only outrageous, but also unfair with the other customers being impacted.
This reminds me of the late 90's [1], when web hosting meant sharing the same box with hundreds of other customers, and very limited tools to enforce limits. When you had a resource hog, the only option was really to get them to reduce usage, or move them to a separate box (which wasn't as easy as today).
[1] ps: I know this well; used to have a web hosting company at the time. We had to frequently move customers around, and in some cases to terminate their contracts - e.g., porn sites. But this was a good 10 years before Xen become commonplace.

This is ridiculous. Would suggest you move out of Linode right away. It's their job to limit resources on your node, not your job to self-limit.

In the age of DevOps, it's not hard to configure different providers. I have been using Linode and DO for a while now. I noticed DO go down last week, checked my site, and it was UP because it was being served via Linode.
I flinch every time I hear someone say to me that their service has redundancy because they use multiple Amazon regions. Multiple providers people! And preferably multiple providers in multiple states, paid for by mutually exclusive credit cards!
Redundancy doesn't mean having multiple hosts by the same provider, within the same data center, within the same rack, provided by the same power strip.
tl;dr: Plan for outages.
Why do people have their eggs in one basket? More specifically, whenever hosting comes up on HN, it's always DO vs Linode. Why not Zoidberg^Wboth?

Anything I have that uses that level of disk i/o I don't run in a VPS which would explain why I've never noticed before.
