DigitalOcean drowned my startup! 'We lost everything, our servers, and one year of database backups' says biz boss

Zero sympathy

Firstly, zero off provider backups

Secondly, putting fortune 500 customers on one of the cheapest providers

In my opinion these are the sorts of incidents which should give startups a wakeup and reality check, not a podium to preach from. You get what you pay for.
