I use DO. Haven't had that problem... The only thing I've experienced that's even remotely similar was when the ubuntu 12.04 hardware enablement stack changed (by ubuntu) I had to do some extra steps to upgrade to the new HWE. But it wasn't too bad, and it was all on the ssh terminal...

Have you contacted their support? Maybe there's some setting you could change? I wonder what exactly you're experiencing, and I wonder why you're experiencing it but I'm not.

I have various flavors of ubuntu server, all 12.04 and 14.04.
