Review of DigitalOcean
Hosting criminals in a plain sight
It came out that DigitalOcean is a hoster behind some of the notorious criminal websites dedicated to software piracy, including ninjaload.com.
The legal/copyright contact at DigitalOcean was notified multiple times but left the notices of copyright infringement with no answer which is in a breach of the European Copyright Law which prescribes the service provider to act swiftly upon receiving such notices.
This effectively renders DigitalOcean an infringer themselves and opens them for a costly lawsuit - the rout we are likely to take.
Avoid this hoster at any cost if you don't want to share the server with criminals.
