DigitalOcean raises $3.2M Seed Round

CVPS is as sketchy as they come, they have a fan-following of past-users who makes fun of their offering. They got hacked more than once and each time they botched their response to customers.

As someone who have used quite a few servers from LEB over the years, there is no way I am going to put anything serious in most of their offering. There are some exceptions, like Ramnode, BuyVM, but DO pretty much made the choice easy for me. Why bother taking a risk?

1) Cheap price and good offering and service.

2) Now I know they are going to stick around for a while.

Remember Slicehost? They might stick around but not in the form that you like especially given that DO are playing the startup game rather than growing organically, building a solid business, and then taking money at a later stage for targeted expansion, like Atlassian and Github.
