Currently, to delete a cloud server, you're required to call support. The option to delete servers via the API and interface have been removed. On more than one occasion I've been pitched by the "support engineer" to sign up for something akin to reserved instance pricing.

They claim it's a security measure.

I've never had an issue with service or availability. But, the price per performance on the VM instances is so much better elsewhere.

Was working to migrate to DO, but now I'm fast tracking that process.
