I've been with DigitalOcean for more than a year. No illegal stuff, of course. I've got an email about investigation. Asked for details, in response got an email that "it's over, we won't tell anything"

The services are terminating within 10d from the original email.

Thanks, DigitalOcean, I actually wanted to move to self-hosted PaaS solution for a long time. More resources for 3x less money.

Thank you for contacting DigitalOcean Support.

We recommend you find a new service provider that better suits your needs as our security tooling would consider these actions when you sign up again resulting in account locks and termination of linked accounts during manual platform-wide reviews.

No further actions are needed from your end.
