We ran our backup server on Digital Ocean. Needed to restore our database backups but were bound by very low I/O read rates from the Digital Ocean disks.
Another issue we had is that they decided we were being DDoS'd, despite a server running no externally accessible ports apart from SSH (which was not being hit). Their solution was to disable the networking, therefore preventing our services on the machine from running. They couldn't provide any further information on the DDoS. Their suggested solution was to "put Cloudflare in front of it", but of course with no services to put Cloudflare in front of, this was useless advice. They did not understand this point.
They're easy, and not bad for a first pass/MVP, but not ideal for production.
