Last month, the founder of [a small startup](https://raisup.com/) got quite a bit of [attention on Twitter](https://twitter.com/w3Nicolas/status/1134529316904153089) (and [Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20064169)) when he called out [DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/) who, in his words, "killed" his company. Long story short: DigitalOcean's automated abuse system flagged the startup's account after they spun up about ten powerful droplets for some CPU-intensive jobs and deleted them shortly after — which is literally **the biggest selling point** of a "servers by the hour" company like DigitalOcean, by the way — and, after replying to the support ticket, an unsympathetic customer support agent [declined to reactivate](https://twitter.com/w3Nicolas/status/1134529372172509184) the account without explanation. [Nicolas](https://twitter.com/w3Nicolas) had no way of even accessing his data, turning the inconvenient but trivial task of migrating servers into a potentially fatal situation for his company.
