Slightly related - had a AWS account, the account tied to it was for business use only - at some point I had credits/balance on the business account and someone gained access to the regular amazon account and bought some digital goods, so I notified amazon. They locked the account AND locked me out of AWS. This particular account was not important, but it took weeks to get access back.
I finally had to call my rep at AWS and said - you are putting your business with us in jeopardy (On other accounts that we spend significant money on) because its taken me so long to resolve this. Got it unlocked in 24 hours, but the whole thing left a sour taste in my mouth.
I suspect Google WILL have this issue as well, it has the potential to be a huge issue for your business.
Alternatively never had this issue when I've COLO'd - food for thought.
- gist 10y ago> Alternatively never had this issue when I've COLO'd Taking it one step further in precaution (and from experience): We have some servers colo'd at a small datacenter. We use it strictly for our operating website and don't put anything for customers in that data center at all even though it would be convenient and save money. The reason is we don't want any bad actors that we might have as customers potentially impacting our main operations. This is in addition to vetting customers as well actually.
