Does DO still disconnect your droplet from the Internet for three hours if you get DDoSed?
That's what made me switch from DO to AWS a few years ago. I used my droplet as an IRC bouncer to hide my home IP address. I'm an op in an IRC channel and someone started spamming racial slurs, so I banned them. They responded with a DDoS. I could tell my connection was a bit slow, but nothing crashed, but then it dropped offline and I got an e-mail from DO saying they're taking my droplet offline to protect their network.
Made me realize that I could never use them for any sort of game server, since the skids love to fire up LOIC whenever they get upset.
