Digital Ocean are heroes - top notch fast customer support when they could have just shrugged their shoulders and said 'not our problem'. Bit of a blow for Cloud66 but they provide an awesome service and from my experience they are very committed to their users. Bit slow to respond with a statement but they must've been fire fighting like their lives depended on it. Some dark circles around the eyes at the Cloud66 offices today I reckon.

I use both Cloud66 and DigitalOcean, my server was destroyed as well which I can only assumed happened through the same API calls.

Here are the two emails I've received from DigitalOcean on the matter that shed a bit more light on the situation.

DigitalOcean 'tries to' take a snapshot of every server before it is destroyed. As a result, you should be able to see those images now.

Thankfully, they were able to restore all of my servers. I sincerely hope it's the same for everyone else.

Yep my servers were restored successfully, good job Digital Ocean.
