I know it’s sorta technically possible through kexec, but native support for custom kernels would be quite nice.

Hi! You can run custom kernels on Debian 8, FreeBSD, or Ubuntu 15.04 droplets.

question

What locations are available for working at DigitalOcean

I first found DigitalOcean when I was tasked with configuring FTPS and SFTP servers for the US Federal Government. The tutorials were amazing. I was able to create a system on RHEL where certain users were Chrooted, the servers were providing both SFTP and FTPS capabilities....root logins disabled....ssh key auth enabled, I mean it really goes on and on. I loved the tutorials, but I didn't even know what DO was or all the things it's provided. Fast forward to now and I have a $10/mo droplet running a webserver, hosting a wordpress site. I mean...the whole business model is so cool. I just imagine a bad ass server farm being rented out. I'm loving my droplet....it's simple but fast and efficient. I love the whole idea of the digital ocean business and the tutorials are beyond awesome. Anyway, where are locations for DO? Mostly NYC in the USA? Not sure if I'd wanna move there, I need to be near some good waves to surf. But given how much I love the company and how amazingly awesome the tutorials and knowledge base is/are, what options are there for working with this company?

Permanent Resize did not cause disk space to increase

The Permanent Resize feature clearly states that the CPU, RAM and disk will all be resized. I resized from 30GB to 40GB and a df -h (FreeBSD droplet) command showed the same. What gives??? freebsd@ivts-fbsd-db1:~ % df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/gpt/rootfs 28G 3.7G 22G 14% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev
question

My account is locked

I created an account last night, payed $5 with paypal, and my account says it is locked, and they sent my a ticket. I've replied to the ticket twice last night and this morning, and I haven't even been able to create a droplet or anything. No responses to the ticket. Why am I locked out after paying, and why won't someone verify my ticket?
