I recommend adding these points to the website once you know them.

Especially not knowing whether it's synchronous or non-synchornous replication makes it impossible to design systems on it, as that decides whether you can lose some (likely small) amount of data on a failover, or whether the system guarantees nothing is lost.

I also don't understand another key thing:

On the Pricing page you write "Standby nodes with automated failovers". At the same time, the pricing table offers 0, 1 or 2 standby nodes. So what happens if I buy the offer with the 0 standby nodes, and a failure occurs? Is my data gone? Does DO replace the failed node, and how when there are no standbys?
