Digitalocean stands to make ~$10,000 monthly of of a "$1,000 server" because it is somewhat managed, and thus has the responsability of informing the 100 or 1,000 odd customers affected because of their mistake imho.
- prebrov 13y agoAgree totally. Physical servers are fully managed by DO and they absolutely must inform customers when they fail at their job.
- aroch 13y ago>> OVH doesn't inform you because you're paying commodity pricing for unmanaged servers Well no, I'm not paying commodity pricing (I'd hardly call a ~$6K server commodity) and OVH offers managed virtual rack services. >> Digitalocean stands to make ~$10,000 monthly of of a "$1,000 server" Err, what? You're vastly underestimating the cost of one of their nodes.
