I don't really see how this is newsworthy... I've been purchasing virtualization and cloud services from a variety of smaller providers for years -- without fail, all of them are more than happy to provision custom images. My current provider, Reprise Hosting, accepts custom images without extra fees and without caveats to their SLA.
- moondev 8y agoIt's a blog announcing a new feature for their platform. It's not like they are taking an ad out on the New York times.
- craftyguy 8y agoYou can still advertise without taking an ad out in the New York Times, and this post is clearly advertising.
- lightwin 8y agoIts their own blog. I think its ok to be writing about every feature they build on the blog even if its a simple feature.
- TheDong 8y agoYes. The question is if it should be on HN or not.
- pathseeker 8y agoWell tell everyone to stop upvoting it at the next meeting.
- penagwin 8y agoI don't use Digital Ocean currently, but I have before and like to know what they're up to. If not many people find it interesting it won't stay on the front page for long anyway.
- kayoone 8y agoIf it should be on HN is entirely dependant on users who vote, so i guess it's interesting to people.
- Kurtz79 8y agoNvidia announces new graphics cards. Should it be on HN? Apple announces new iPhone, listing specs. Should it be on HN? Google announces new service. Should it be on HN? In general, if it's something tech related that the community finds interesting, I don't see why not.
