DigitalOcean + Gandi means nothing I run is down. Amazing. We depend far too greatly on centralised services where we deem the value of reputation and convenience exceeds the potential downsides and then the world pays for it. I think we have to feel a lot more of this pain before regulation kicks in to change things because the reality is people don't change. The only thing you can personally do is run a lot of your own stuff for things you can.
DigitalOcean is indeed having issues.

Still nothing is down...
Individually, for you, what's the difference?
You use a service provider, if that service provider is down, your site is down. Does it matter to you that others are also down in that instance?
Might even be better to go down at the same time as everyone else, because customers might be more lenient on you.
