Thank you for this comment. We run our startup on DO and seeing news like this always make me wonder if I should start looking for plan B, a new server provider. Your service is outstanding and a transition of 30+ large droplets to some other provider would be painful so I really hope you guys are doing well.

I too am a long term DO user that loves the simplicity and well thought out product, and the customer service.

But that doesn't not mean not having a Plan B just in case. And think it out. Do you want redundancy in provider in case you're blocked? Do want redundancy in payment system in case your bank blocks you? Do want redundancy in data centre in case a data centre is destroyed or becomes unavailable? Other, staff unavaibility plan, etc. All of these have some cost. Think what's most important for you.
