DigitalOcean is blocking websites based on fake phishing reports. 3 days ago they blocked this website for 2 days: facebook.webseodesigners.com. The only way to get it back was to move it to another hosting. DigitalOcean Security Operations Center ignored all emails and even phishdestroy.io who was used in this attack against freedom of speech admitted their mistake and apologised. DigitalOcean is blocking websites based on fake phishing reports As of this moment, DigitalOcean is still silent, blocking https traffic to the domain on their hosting, and lists 2 active and valid abuse reports in their Network Abuse Report tracker.

f you are using DigitalOcean and value your websites, you might want to think twice before choosing them or renewing your hosting.
