That's very scary, I am building an MVP currently on DO and although I have daily backups of all the data pushed to another cloud provider as a safety, seeing how they closed your account suddenly out of nowhere with no recourse I feel like I should move out of there.
This is insane, if I wouldn't have those backups and the same thing happened to me, I would be screwed. How come they don't contact you beforehand, or at least let you move out your data (keep the account open but cut the droplets from public internet if for whatever reason their algorithm detected nefarious activity on it, or a bogus DMCA, exploits happens, etc).
I wanted to try an alternative to AWS but look like I'll be back to it soon. Does AWS have a similar track record of closing account out of the blue? Is there any other alternative that have better support and would at the very least try to contact the owner before taking drastic action like this?
