They are reckless to trust a single company with their backups worth of money. I don't trust Google and Amazon with backups of my wedding video nobody cares about, so I'm using my home NAS with raid as a third additional storage (along with Glacier and Coldline). And they just trust DigitalOcean with all their data, assets? Crazy. Don't put all eggs in one basket. Register domain from one company, host DNS in another company, host your servers in third company, keep your backups in multiple places owned by multiple companies, test your backups periodically, have migration plan if one company decides to ban you.
That's another reason that I'm very skeptical of Amazon and Google offerings of their proprietary API. Rent virtual servers, no problems, you can rent those servers from a thousands of hosters. But if you're using their proprietary APIs, you will have to rewrite your software to migrate and you will have very tight time frame.
