The problem with DigitalOne was a complete lack of communication around this event. It was a long time (and a lot of badgering) before any of us learned anything about what had happened. I can sympathize with being busy during a crisis, but total silence for 24+ hours, with no working website, email, status page, or twitter account, is not acceptable.

Yeah, that is what hosting companies often lack: communication with their customer during crisis. I totally agree that DigitalOne should inform their customers about the incident and they handled the case poorly. But, like I said, put all the blame on them is too harsh.
