If you even have the slightest inkling that your site will be attacked by a DDOS (either targeted or randomly) please reconsider DigitalOcean. Their method of handling a DDOS is basically "your node is being attacked, so we're disconnecting it from the network for a few hours. Try to figure out why someone is attacking you." Then, the machine gets reconnected three hours later and the attack cycle continues. Not to mention that since the machine is offline, there is no way of logging in to check access logs, modify firewalls, etc. I've never dealt with a company like DO before. Switched to AWS last year and, even when I was getting extreme traffic, AWS never just shut down access without notice.
