That their emails and logins don't work, is their fault though. Those things are so basic and essential that they go way beyond "No hosting provider is perfect". And then they offer no assistance in rectifying their buggy software.
I find it hard to understand that you blame the user when a product is so broken that one cannot login.
That I didn't have a recovery plan is an untrue assumption of yours.
Luckily I was able to mitigate this "outage" of digital ocean and host my app elsewhere. But this costs me work and energy I would have liked to invest elsewhere, and hence I would appreciate a more stable provider, where the most basic functionality reliably works.
- gregjor 5y agoThe product may be broken for you. I have used DO for years and never had this problem. They offer OTP 2FA specifically so you don’t have to rely on emails. Emails can fail in many places, you shouldn’t rely on that. Next time make sure you can log in to your hosting provider’s console before you make possibly breaking changes. I get that you had a bad experience but that doesn’t imply that DO is broken or not worthy of trust.
