Hello,
I’ve read at several places that DigitalOcean is intended for developers.
Are there any limitations that could prevent it from being used for large companies’ web sites/web stores ?
Is Digital Ocean less reliable than other hosting companies ? Are there more risks to loose everything with Digital Ocean ? I’ve read that DO can easily suspend droplets in some case (DDoS attacks) without any notice…
Thanks

You can use DDoS protection from BuyVM, it’s very cheap DDoS protection…

you need a hardware firewall at the end of the day. No exceptions to that rule…
