How do you expect the problem to be fixed without you reporting it?

Yep, I feel very lucky to work with a designer who actually cares about UX, has a very good knowledge of how HTML/CSS actually works and everything that goes a long with that. Made hiring a frontend person much much easier.

16/17 isn't that impressive, it's when most people are doing work here in Australia for programming out of TAFE.

This will happen on any VPS provider. DO isn't the "cloud", same as Linode/RAMNode/any other VPS provider. If you really had a "huge fine" weighing over you, why didn't you spring for multiple servers

Yeah, go and buy a thunderbold ethernet cable, they are really cheap and work fantastically. The only downside is on Linux you have to reboot if you unplug the ethernet, but apparently that's being improved in 3.15.
