    225,000 Servers and 7000 IPs? Something is broken with that math...

    To me seems perfectly logic :P
    220000 are sleeping Snapshots with my own among them + 5000 are active droplets.

    btw. damn emoticons!

    I could pretend to believe their numbers if they supported ipv6.

    Maybe they really mean total number of instances ever created (which also includes the ones already deleted, etc.).

    Those numbers include every one ever created.

    I wish DigitalOcean the best of luck. 225,000 servers created and like 7000 active seems like a very HTO rate of customers if true.

    @Liam I think that they are counting every instance ever created since they've started. If so, that number doesn't mean that much. As far as challenging Linode and AWS, well, everything is not about price, but about quality of service as well and DO falls short in that regard when compared to Linode and AWS.
