This is enough to turn me off, even if these reviews are mostly from fraudsters who the AI cutoff. Hosting on a platform that attracts this type of user increases my risk. Either due to being cutoff myself or stuff like bad IP ranges, excessive ID verification.

I feel sorry for DO, they've built a great product but servicing the bottom end of the market seems harder and less rewarding than experienced by major or niche cloud providers.

Sadly, every hosting platform attracts fraud. It's a very difficult problem to prevent and the payoff when people break through fraud prevention is quite high.

Some providers feature in scammer tutorials much more than others; for being cheap, offering free credit, easy to use, powerful and susceptible to multiple accounts per credit card or supporting unusual payment providers that scammers like.

DO ticks many of those boxes or did in the past.
