I won't counter any of the praise I'm reading; if anything this will probably validate it.
I'm on the other end of the DO equation.
My small mail server is relentlessly targeted for spam from DigitalOcean IPs - and has been for years.
In fact there are 4 networks I block (by ASN) - DO, OVH, AWS (new!) and Psychz Networks.
(note: No mail from outside N.Am/EU allowed)
Forget to stop my mail server when dropping the firewall for 20 seconds? Get a ½ dozen spams from DigitalOcean IPs.
I actually like that there are hosts for dodgy services. I also get that conscientious hosts get bad customers and it takes time to overcome their bad behavior.
However from the time I 1st heard of DO until now, it's an unbroken timeline of DO being a toxic source.
(note: The difficulty of reporting spammy IPs in bulk - using firewall not mail server logs - is another post)
So like a lot of orgs, DigitalOcean treats people on the inside really well. But for those of us on the receiving end of unwanted attention from DO networks, it's a rough ride.
