Looks like DO has managed to keep this detail out of the record for the most part, save some forum posts that pop up if you search "realitychecknetwork digitalocean". It would explain the odd gap in time in their Wikipedia page history:
> In 2003, Ben and Moisey Uretsky who had founded ServerStack, a managed hosting business, wanted to create a new product which would combine the web hosting and virtual servers. The Uretskys, having surveyed the cloud hosting market felt that most hosting companies were targeting enterprise client leaving the entrepreneurial software developers market underserved. In 2011 the Uretskys founded DigitalOcean, a company which would provide server provisioning and cloud hosting for software developers.
- tgtweak 9y agoYeah Ben and Moisey are both incredibly competent sysadmins and shrewd businessmen. They deserve the success they've had but they were very close to desperation after this incident. I can't blame them for omitting it from the records, the reality is likely that digital ocean and serverstack are both much more secure as a result.
