DO has shown that their service is simply not suitable for some use cases: those that impose an "unreasonable" load on their infraestructure.
Even worse: they don't explicitly state what is considered "unreasonable". So, if your business is serious, you have to assume the worst-case scenario: DO can't be used for anything
Conclusion: Digital Ocean is just for testing, playing around, not suitable for production.

DO, Linode, etc are for personal side projects, hosting community websites, forums etc. They are not for running a real business on. Some people do, sure but if hosting cost is really that big a portion of your total budget you probably don't have a real business model yet anyway.
